Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds for garnish
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • Whisk the almond flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the melted butter, lemon zest, orange zest, and fresh orange juice. Mix until well combined.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top.
  • Bake the cake in the oven for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean.
  • Allow the Portuguese Almond Breakfast Cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy this delightful almond-infused treat as part of your Portuguese-inspired breakfast.
