I’m a huge fan of citrus desserts, whether lemon, orange or tangerine. I think the citrus touch always brings a very rich, distinctive and refreshing flavor.
This cake is super simple to make, you’ll only need a bowl, a fork, the mold, and some simple ingredients and in little more than half an hour you will have this cake ready, which accompanied by a cup of coffee is perfect for tea time or breakfast.
To make the cake we will use 3 different flours, first oatmeal, which we can make homemade by processing oat flakes until they become flour, or we can buy it made. The second is whole wheat flour, which adds volume, and a rich texture, and finally buckwheat flour, which helps the other 2 flours to better bind and helps to lighten the mixture, since it is the finest of the 3.
If you are looking for a GLUTEN FREE recipe, you should use gluten-free oatmeal and replace the whole wheat with more buckwheat flour.
Sweetened with muscovado sugar and with a lot of orange zest this cake is now one of my favorites!
And to finish it, and give it a creamy touch, add cream cheese on top, you can use coconut cream, whipped cream or even vegan cream cheese, making it a completely vegan or lactose-free cake.
This recipes can be vegan by replacing the eggs with a vegan replacement (see the notes to see which ones I use) and using vegetable milk.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free oatmeal. Surely you get it at a store specializing in celiac products. And replace the whole wheat with more
