Ingredients
For the cake
- 2 cups blanched almond flour (almond meal will not yield the same and the best results)
- 1 cup toasted quinoa flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- A pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 3/4 cup Madhava honey
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 3 large eggs at room temperature (use flaxseed meal in case of a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 orange
For the sauce:
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup orange juice
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a bundt pan with coconut oil and set aside.
- Whisk together all the dry ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a larger mixing bowl, beat coconut oil, honey and orange juice together until combined. Add eggs (or flaxseed meal) and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
- Add dry mixture into the wet in three additions, mixing well after each.
- Fold in orange zest and cranberries.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan, tapping on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Bake on center rack for 35 – 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, make the cranberry sauce by combining all ingredients into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and let it simmer until cranberries have broken down and mixture has begun to thicken. Set aside until the cake is done baking.
- When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 – 20 minutes. Carefully flip over and release. Let cool completely before slicing.
- When ready to serve, top with a dollop of cranberry sauce and enjoy.
