How To Make orange almond & poppy seed cake, millie's

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 350F. Melt butter and set aside. Zest oranges then juice and strain them. You'll need 1 tsp. zest for the cake and 1/2 tsp. for the glaze. Reserve 1/4 c. of the orange juice for the glaze also.
• 
  Step 2
  In large bowl, combine white rice flour, almond flour and baking powder and stir to mix. Now add 1/2 cup orange juice, eggs, 1 tsp. orange zest, 1/2 tsp. poppy seeds, 1/2 c. buttermilk or thinned kefir, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir to mix well.

  Step 3
  Take a brush and brush a 10 1/2 inch spring-form pan with some of the melted butter, then sprinkle some extra rice flour onto the pan to lightly dust the bottom and sides.

  Step 4
  Now add the rest of the melted butter into the batter, a little at a time, stirring between additions. Beat with mixer on med. high for 1 minute. Pour into pan, smooth then bake for 40- 45 minutes or until light golden brown. (it will look like cornbread)

  Step 5
  Remove from oven and let set in pan 5 minutes. Release, then turn onto plate, then invert onto serving plate. (this puts the top back on top) Let cool a little.
