Pro Tips Before You Start

Mix the pureed orange with the eggs, honey, pistachio powder, almond powder, vanilla and baking soda until smooth.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 1 hour, covering with foil if browning too quickly.

A toothpick should come out clean.

Step 6: Make the Glaze
Boil orange juice with honey until reduced by half. Let cool.

Step 7: Glaze & Cool
Brush the warm cake with glaze.

Cool completely before removing from pan and serving.

What to Serve It With

Greek yogurt or whipped cream – For a creamy contrast.
