This Flourless Orange Pistachio Cake embodies the vibrant aroma of oranges mingling with the earthy scent of roasted pistachios, creating a dessert that is not only gluten-free but also irresistibly flavorful.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 large whole oranges
1 cup shelled pistachios
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Place the whole oranges in a pot of boiling water and simmer for about 30 minutes. This softens them and enhances their flavor. Once done, drain and let cool.
In a food processor, add the cooled oranges, pistachios, sugar, eggs, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
