This is a simple, not overly sweet, and delicious cake that is great just out of the oven and just as great with coffee the next morning. If you don’t have anise extract you could also use ground anise, or omit the anise and just make it a cinnamon flavored cake.


Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon anise extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon orange zest, dried or fresh
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (ground almonds)
  • 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup milk

    Add flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and beat in low to combine (or use a spoon or whisk)
