This Paleo Orange Cake recipe, made with 6 healthy ingredients, is one of our favorite desserts. All you need to make it is whole oranges, almond flour, eggs, honey, salt, and baking soda.
This easy paleo cake recipe is the perfect holiday dessert for Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter, and Passover.
It seems weird to make a cake with whole oranges. However, using the orange with its peel adds a rich flavor dimension to the cake. Yes, use the entire orange including the peel in this recipe!
The idea for this easy grain-free cake recipe came from one of my favorite cookbook authors, Claudia Roden. Her recipe is called 
Gateau a l’Orange. Nigella Lawson also has a a citrus cake recipe using fruit and peel made with clementines.
This paleo cake recipe would likely be incredible with lemons, though adjustments would likely need to be made. If you do experiment leave a comment and let us know if it works.

Have you tried this with lemons? I have a glut of Meyer lemons (my favorite) and planning all the ways to use them.
Thanks and stay healthy!
U ROCK!
Erin, I’ve been playing around with that but haven’t yet landed on something amazing. If you scroll through the comments, I think others may have done this as well :-)
