How to Make Flourless Orange Pistachio Cake
- Simmer Oranges: Rinse and place whole oranges in a pot covered with water. Simmer for about an hour until the peels are tender enough to blend smoothly.
- Blend Until Smooth: After draining, add the softened oranges to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the blended oranges, honey, eggs, almond flour, ground pistachios, baking soda, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 1 hour. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Prepare the Glaze: Simmer honey and fresh orange juice together until reduced by half. Cool before glazing the cake.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.

Optional: Serve with whipped cream or fresh berries for an extra touch.
