Flourless orange cake by Teresa Cutter of The Healthy Chef. Paul Cutter / The Healthy Chef by [Teresa Cutter — The Healthy Chef](https://time.com/author/teresa-cutter-the-healthy-chef/) ## Teresa Cutter — The Healthy Chef Jun 8, 2018 11:00 AM UTC I adore baking with whole fruits. Citrus fruits in particular, such as oranges, impart rich aromatics that are very refreshing on the palate. This flourless orange cake is simple to make and scented with whole sweet oranges, vanilla, almonds and honey to create a truly irresistible gluten-free treat that’s perfect for any occasion. It’s also extremely moist, so it’ll keep in the fridge for at least a week, and in my opinion, become even more delicious as the flavors deepen over time I love to serve this cake with a dollop of thick natural yogurt or crème fraîche, but it’s also just as delicious with a dollop of coconut yogurt or coconut cream if you want to go dairy free. Oranges are also [rich in Vitamin C](http://time.com/3724505/healthy-recipes-healthiest-foods/), which can help boost immunity, and are [high in soluble](http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/much-fiber-orange-5579.html) [fiber](http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/much-fiber-orange-5579.html), which [supports](http://www.health.com/nutrition/types-of-fiber) [digestive health](http://www.health.com/nutrition/types-of-fiber).
