Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Oil the cake pan and line the bottom with a round of parchment.
- Whisk the flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
- In a large bowl, rub the zest into the sugar with your fingertips until it smells strongly of orange. Add the eggs and whisk 1 minute, until pale and a little thick.
- Slowly whisk in the olive oil, then the orange juice and almond extract.
- Fold in the dry ingredients just until no dry streaks remain. Pour into the pan and scatter the sliced almonds on top.
- Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then turn out and cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar.
