Orange Almond Cake

 

 

Ingredients:
Vegetable oil spray
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups cake flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons acceptable vegetable oil
Egg substitute equivalent to 1 egg
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 1/4 cups fresh orange juice (about 5 large oranges)
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
2 cups sliced Cuban red bananas (about 4) (optional)
1 cup orange slices (optional)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350° F.

Lightly spray an 8-inch round or square cake pan or springform pan with vegetable oil spray. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour in the pan, shaking to coat sides. Discard any excess flour.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil, egg substitute, orange peel, and orange juice. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry mixture and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until mixture is moistened. Scrape bowl with a rubber scraper, then beat the mixture on high speed for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan and arrange almond slices on top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a sharp knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife along the side of the pan and remove cake, cooling thoroughly on a wire cooling rack. Garnish with sliced Cuban bananas and/or orange slices, if desired.
