This beloved cake is the definition of simple done right. Wonderfully moist with a tender crumb and vibrant citrus flavor, it comes together easily and bakes into two beautiful loaves. A generous dusting of confectioners’ sugar is all it needs — classic, comforting, and always a hit.
Yields 2 (10 x 5-inch) loaf cakes
2 cups Gefen Almond Flour
1 cup sugar
2.8 ounces Gefen Vanilla Instant Pudding mix
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 large eggs
1/4 cup orange juice
Gefen Confectioners’ Sugar, for dusting
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two 10×5-inch loaf pans with Gefen Parchment Paper. Leave some overhang for easy removal. (If using a 9×5-inch loaf pan take off about 3/4 cup batter and use as a mini cake or muffin. If using paper loaf pan, no parchment paper is needed.)
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sugar, pudding mix, and baking powder.
Add the eggs and gently whisk. When the mixture is about halfway combined, pour in the orange juice. Mix just until fully incorporated. Do not overmix.
Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for a short time, then lift it out using the parchment and cool completely. Once fully cooled, dust the top lightly with confectioners’ sugar before serving.

it doesn’t say how long to bake it for. I baked it around 35-40 min
No oil?
This cake doesn’t call for oil 🙂
Can I use chocolate pudding?
Sure, then it will be a chocolate cake 🙂
What can you use instead of the pudding mix?
Unfortunately, I don’t know of a Pesach substitute for pudding mix 🙁
Can you freeze these cakes?
Yes!
This cake looks delicious!
Would this recipe work if baked in pans of other sizes (muffin pans, 8 or 9 inch square pans, or 9 X 13, if doubled)?
Thank you.
hi, the cake can’t be doubled and will not bake properly in a 9 x 13 pan
Thank you. 🙂
your very welcome
