HOW TO MAKE IT

01

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

02

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

03

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, orange blossom water, and orange zest until well combined.

04

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

05

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top.

06

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

07

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tips

For an extra touch of sweetness and moisture, you can brush the warm cake with a simple syrup made from 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water, simmered until the sugar dissolves, and then flavored with a teaspoon of orange blossom water.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have almond flour, you can use an additional 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, though the texture will be slightly less dense. Lemon zest and extract can be used in place of orange for a different citrus flavor.
