The winter is here big time,
And this chill feeling is making me crave,
For a good and indulging orange cake.

My orange cake doesn’t require any whipping,
It requires a short stir and baking.

It’ll fit perfectly next to a warm and indulging pot of tea.
It’s a cake that you eat both together and by yourself,
It’s full of aroma and textures,
It’s exciting and sweeping,
It’s tasty and indulging,
And it’s one big ball of fun 🙂

This is an easy recipe, quick and fun especially on a chilly morning with a winter sun.
It’s exciting and joyous,
And it hugs every inch of your body.

Happy and warm days of winter to us all 🙂

A little extra from me:

• Oranges can be substituted for clementine.
• Click here to see how to grind oat flour at home.
• Oat flour can be substituted for rice flour / coconut flour / almond flour.
• Almond flour can be substituted for ¾ cup of spelt flour (Contains gluten). If you choose to make this change and already use oat flour as well, use ¾ cup oat flour (And not 1 cup).
• The cake can be made by using only spelt flour – Total of 1½ cups of flour (Contains gluten).
• Sugar can be substituted for maple syrup / agave syrup. If you choose to make this change add more ¼ cup of oat flour / almond flour.
