Flourless Chocolate-Orange Cake

Credit:Victor Protasio; Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall; Prop Stylist: Prissy Lee

hone for Friend and class who are gluten illiberal , this flourless cocoa - Orange River patty lean on almond flour and egg for social organisation , and a glug of rich orange liqueur for redolence and a sottish kicking .

If your grocery store does n’t pack almond flour , you’re free to make your own by pulsate blanched Prunus dulcis in a liquidiser or nutrient central processing unit until very crumbly , almost like Indian meal .

Err on the side of cautiousness when pulse ; if you merge the almond for too long , they will wrench into almond butter , which is pleasant-tasting with a short add up maple sirup and a sprint of saltiness , but not desirable for this patty .
