Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Cake pan (8-9 inch)
  • Food Processor (for the oats)

Allergen Information

⚠️ Egg
⚠️ Wheat (if oats are not certified gluten-free)

Instructions

1

Whisk the eggs with the honey until foamy.

Tip: This gives the cake its lightness.
2

Fold in the oat flour, baking powder, and the orange juice/zest (or puréed whole orange).

Tip: Oats absorb a lot of liquid; let the batter sit for 5 minutes before baking.
3

Bake at 340°F (170°C) for 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan.

Tip: It is fragile when warm but slices beautifully once cooled.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use regular rolled oats?
Yes, but you must grind them into a flour, otherwise the cake will fall apart.
