raw cacao and orange cake

made using nudie nothing but double pulp orange juice

This delicious raw cacao orange cake is made using beautifully sweet oranges (the skin and all)! Oranges are high in vitamin C and by using the skin as well as the pulp (from nudie nothing but orange juice – double pulp) this cake is high in soluble fibre and orange essential oil. This gives us an orange cake with a depth of flavour and nutritional goodness too! By using almond meal in the place of wheat flour, we have pumped up the protein and heart healthy fats. Raw cacao combines with the decadent orange, giving it a rich chocolate flavour (yum!), packed with antioxidants. This cake is a delight!
