Description

This orange and almond cake is a true comfort food, perfect for breakfast or a snack. Its soft texture and intense citrus fragrance make it irresistible. I often prepare it during the winter, when oranges are at their best. The addition of toasted almonds gives a crunchy note that goes perfectly with the softness of the dough. It is a simple cake to make, ideal for those who do not have much experience in the kitchen. It keeps well for several days, keeping its fragrance intact. Try it, it will win you over at the first bite!
