Cake for breakfast.
Yeah, I said it.
But don’t be scurred —this baby is delicious but healthy AF. My Almond and Orange Breakfast Cake is flour-free, refined sugar-free, and perfect for Paleo and GF peeps. It’s also THE BOMB for a make-ahead breakfast that requires minimal finger-lifting.

All you need for this golden, moist and citrussy beaut is one bowl, and a handful of basic ingredients (okay, you may need two handfuls for the eggs, unless you have massive hands 😬).



Is Honey Paleo-Friendly?
It is, as long as you don’t overdo it! This cake is not too sweet, and perfect to change up the ol’ eggs and bacon routine, or whatever your go-to Paleo brekkie is.

Is This Cake Keto-Friendly?
This cake is easily adapted for keto diets! Simply substitute the honey for your favourite keto sweetener, following the proper ratios depending on what you choose.

One-bowl healthy breakfast cake made with almond flour and fresh orange. Soft, moist, and perfect for meal-prep!
Ingredients
- ½ tbsp butter, or coconut oil, for greasing

- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice, plus zest
- 1½ cups + 4 tbsp almond flour
- Pinch sea salt
- ½ tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C/ 350 F/ Gas Mark 4. Generously grease an 8-inch cake pan or casserole dish with butter or coconut oil.
- In a large bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. Then add (whisking between each addition) honey, vanilla, orange juice and zest, almond flour, salt and baking soda.
- Pour batter into greased pan or casserole dish.
- Bake until golden and fragrant, and with a slight spring when touched (around 25 to 35 mins, depending on your oven). NB: If you notice the cake starts to brown before it’s properly baked, loosely cover with foil and continue to bake.
