Instructions
Preheat the oven too 350°.
In a large bowl mix together the almond flour, corn meal, all-purpose flour and baking powder until combined and set aside.
Cream together the butter and sugar in a standing mixer on high speed with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes.
Next, add in 1 egg at time until mixed in and then add in the heavy cream and orange zest.
Finish by adding in the dry ingredients on low speed until mixed in. Set aside.
Next line a 4” deep cake pan with parchment paper on the bottom and the sides. Use butter to help make the parchment stick.
Layer on the thinly sliced blood oranges on the bottom of the pan and slightly coming up around the sides and brush them with simply syrup.
Next, pour in the cake batter and level it to make it flat.
