orange, rosemary & almond flour cake

this healthy orange and rosemary cake is super easy to make. it has minimal ingredients, grain free and pretty much foolproof. my favourite part about this cake is the honey and rosemary syrup that gets poured over just before serving…

i pick the rosemary fresh from my garden and get the raw honey from my local bee man

• 2 oranges

• 1/2 cup of honey

• 250 g ground almonds

(for the syrup)

• juice of 1 orange

• 2 tbsp honey

• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary

in a big bowl, beat eggs and honey together. add baking soda and mix until combined. stir in almond flour and orange puree. pour mixture into a springform pan and bake for 30 - 45 minutes.
