Directions:

- Mix in eggs one at a time, mixing between eggs
- Stir in the almond meal
- Stir in crushed almonds
- Stir in orange zest
- Pour / scrape into parchment paper lined 20cm / 8″ round cake pan, or a 21cm x 11cm (9″ x 5″) loaf tin
- Bake at 180C for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Depending on the brands of ingredients that you choose then the entire cake comes out to 23g of carbs, or about 3 grams each if you cut the cake into eight slices. I use Woolworth’s brand Almond Meal, which is only 4.9 grams of carbs per 100 grams.
