Ingredients

• Juice of 3 oranges
• Grated zest of 1 orange
• 6 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
• 1 cup ground almonds or almond meal or almond flour
• 1 tablespoon orange blossom water
• 4 eggs
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Whipped heavy cream, for serving

Directions

1. Mix together the orange juice, grated orange zest, and bread crumbs, add the ground almonds and, if available, a tablespoon of orange blossom water.

2. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar and salt until almost white. Add to the first mixture. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour into a square cake pan, buttered and sprinkled with bread crumbs, and bake in a moderate oven at 350°F for about 40 minutes.

3. Cool, and when cold turn the cake out and cover the top with whipped cream (about 1/3 cup). Very good and light.
