This looks so good! Orange and almond cake is so yummy. Coconut sugar is so expensive though, and I think a little sugar in moderation is fine

I've never seen Coconut sugar pity it is expensive though. I have a real sugar addiction and wonder if it would help

I did try a cake super low in sugar, and free of dairy and gluten. A small piece of that was still plenty.

This looks so good. I love a good orange cake so this might be just the cake for me.

I thought six eggs was a lot for a cake, I know that you can replace eggs in a lot of cake recipes with banana's. Don't ask me what the comparison is or how it works, but it does.

Me too thanks Goldcat. I cant eat egg yolks - just egg whites. So I'd need to replace them with a few bananas too.

This looks worth a try. I might just have to reduce the amount of eggs the recipe contains. Love the addition of the pomegranate seeds!

This sounds gross... orange, carrot and almond meal don't sound like they go well together.

Still far too much sugar in it to be "healthy".

I love orange almond cakes and flourless cakes in general. This one really is simple to make but I suggest using organic oranges or ones that haven't been sprayed with pesticides -
