Tel Aviv bakers Lee’at and Georgia are at it again, whipping up a gluten-free delight in their Tel Aviv cake studio.
What’s better than the heavenly combination of chocolate and orange? A chocolate-orange cake without flour. That makes it really versatile, fit for Passover and anytime you need a gluten-free dessert option to please every sweet tooth.
Gluten-Free Chocolate Orange Cake
Melt 2 cups dark chocolate chips and 1 cup butter in a double boiler or microwave.
Remove from heat, mix in zest of 1 large orange or 2 small ones.
Add in 1½ cups light brown sugar.
Separate 5 eggs. Mix the egg yolks into the chocolate.
Using a mixer, whisk the whites to stiff peaks. Fold the whites into the chocolate mix.
Pour half the mixture into an 8-inch springform pan and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 30-35 minutes until the top has set.
Take out of the oven, then add the rest of the mixture (stir it before if it’s thickened).
Continue baking for a further 30-35 minutes until the top has set.
Cool in the pan completely before serving.
