Description
This is so #yummygetinmytummy, even my hubby, not one for sweet stuff, and GF baking said this is moreish and he had 4 cubes one after another, which makes me a happy mommy.
Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 2/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- ±4 twists of Pink Himalayan Salt (Grinder bottle)
- 1/3 cup stevia
Wet ingredients:
- 6 X-large eggs
- 1/3 cup VOO (Virgin Olive Oil)
- 1/2 Tbsp. Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (I only used 1 orange and that was sufficient)
- Grated zest of 1 orange
- 1 cup dried cranberries
Extra/Optional ingredients:
- Minimal cranberries for decoration
- 1 Tbsp. rolled oats (I used Oat bran and just a sprinkling for decoration)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix well, and set aside.
- In a 4-cup measuring jug, combine the wet ingredients and beat with a small hand whisk until a little frothy.
- Add the dried cranberries and zest and let it rest for 5-10 minutes in order for the berries to soak up some of the juice.
- Combine the above two sets of ingredients and then blend thoroughly until no lumps are visible.
- Pour the batter into a well-greased baking tin.
- I used a 7 x 11-inch baking pan with its own divider which then provides you with 18 equal cubes of cake.
- If you prefer, sprinkle the top with oats and a few extra cranberries.
- I only added the oats as I wanted to soak all the cranberries and added them in the batter.
- Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let it rest until cold and then gently remove the baking/cutter from the cake and voila you have wonderful delicious and moist Orange and Cranberry Cake cubes.
