Ingredients

1 1/2 cups almond flour packed (200g) *
1/3 cup tapioca flour 40g
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs room temperature
¼ cup coconut oil melted
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup orange juice freshly squeezed (1 large orange)
Zest from 1 large orange

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tbsp orange juice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Add the dry ingredients - almond flour, tapioca flour, and baking soda into a small bowl and combine.
Wash, dry, and zest the orange. Set aside.
Juice the zested orange. Set aside.
In a separate and larger bowl, combine the wet ingredients - eggs, melted coconut oil, honey, orange juice. Whisk until everything is evenly combined.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula.
Gently fold in the orange zest into the batter.
Pour the batter into an 8x4 parchment paper-lined loaf pan. Bake the loaf cake for 25-28 min or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with orange juice until there are no lumps left. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more if you prefer a runnier icing.
Let the cake cool down** before adding the orange glaze on top.
Enjoy!

Notes

* I recommend using a food scale when measuring flour for best accuracy. However, if you don’t have a food scale, make sure you pack the almond flour firmly when you measure it. For example, 1 cup of loosely packed almond flour weighs about 96g, but a firmly packed cup of almond flour weighs between 120-130g.

**I recommend letting the cake cool for 1-1.5 hr, or until it is cool enough for the icing to stay on
