Breadcake

04 Mar

Ingredients 

  • 20 cl orange juice
  • 125 g semi-whole meal flour (T110)
  • 125 g white flour (T55)
  • 125 g almonds
  • 75 g almond purée
  • 1 egg
  • 50 g unrefined cane sugar (wholemeal)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 165°C. While the oven is heating up, spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast until golden brown. 
  • Set aside to cool. Save a handful for the final touch and crush the rest of the almonds coarsely.
  • Pour the flour, baking powder, sugar and spices into a bowl. Add your almond purée and mix with a fork to form a slightly thick crumb-like mixture.
  • Add the orange juice, egg and crushed almonds. Use your fork to toss, but don't go overboard to get it just right. We want to keep it a little bit chunky. 
  • Pour the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined cake pan, and smooth out the top. 
  • Drop the whole almonds you've saved on top and sprinkle with a little sugar.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. You want your cake to be nicely puffed and golden. Check that a knife blade comes out clean in the middle. When ready, carefully remove your breadcake from the cake pan and leave to cool on a wire rack before serving.
