Preparation

You can start by chocolate cake batter or orange cake batter, it doesn't matter.

1. Preheat oven to 395F (200C) and grease your cake pan.

Orange Cake Batter

1. With a mixer, cream butter & sugar. This should take a few minutes. *If you have a Thermomix: 3min, speed 3 with the butterfly whisk.*
2. Remove the stem of the orange and cut it in quarters. Blend with a blender until it becomes a purée, you should still see little pieces of zest. Blend as long as needed, stopping to scrape the edges in between to optimize the blending process. *If you have some kumquats, throw them in the blender as well.*
3. Add the orange purée to the butter & sugar mix. Add the eggs. Mix well (highly recommend to continue mixing with the mixer). *If you have a Thermomix: remove the butterfly whisk, scrape the edges of the bowl and add the orange quarters (and kumquats) and eggs and mix speed 6 during 1min.*
4. Add gluten-free flour, almond flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Mix well with the mixer. *If you have a Thermomix, add the flours and baking powder, mix speed4 during 20sec.*
5. Set aside and move on to the chocolate batter.
