Kada snovi pređu u stvarnost....22-godišnja Splićanka, upravo diplomirala slastičarstvo na Culinary Institute of America : The Culinary Institute of America
Today's task were gluten-free desserts. Let me prove you how amazing flourless desserts can be!
This is probably one of my favorites, but this time I had to convert it into a plated dessert, which was fun to do. The cake itself is super moist and not that sweet like most of my desserts (that's what my American classmates tell me), because I believe too much sugar comepletly overpowers all other flavors.
The components of this little cake are eggs, sugar, almond flour, whole cooked and pureed oranges, and cocoa powder.
I finished it with 60-70 % chocolate ganache and served with a dollop of whipped cream and candied orange peel. Since we had to have a sauce, I just made a freshly squeezed orange juice reduction, which complemented it perfectly.
