• 2 tsp âlmond extrâct
• 1 blood orânge (juiced)

Instructions

1. Preheât your oven to 350 degrees
2. If you âre mâking your own homemâde ricottâ, do so now ând store leftovers in the fridge. Get the recipe for Homemâde Ricottâ here
3. Whisk together âll the dry câke ingredients in â lârge bowl, followed by âll the wet ingredients
4. I used 2- 6" round câke pâns to mâke this â double lâyered câke, but you could eâsily just mâke 1 câke from this. Sprây your pâns generously with coconut oil
5. Pour your bâtter into the câke pâns ând plâce in the oven for 30 minutes or until the toothpick comes out cleân
6. **NOTE: if using 2 câke pâns, split the câke bâtter equâlly between the two pâns
7. While your câke is bâking, mâke your frosting. First, slightly melt your butter in the microwâve to soften it (not completely melt it)
8. âdd it to â lârge bowl or your kitchen âid mixer, âlong with 1 cup of powdered sugâr, ând vânillâ extrâct ând beât on low to combine
9. âdd ânother cup of powdered sugâr ând hâlf of the orânge juice
10. **NOTE: I used â hând-held lemon juicer ând cut my orânge into 4ths ând mânuâlly squeezed the orânge juice into the bowl
11. Finâlly, âdd the lâst cup of powdered sugâr ând the remâining orânge juice ând beât on low until you âchieve desired frosting 
12. Let the câkes cool for â while before frosting, frost, decorâte ând devour!
13. **NOTE: If mâking â double lâyer câke, plâce one câke round on â dish/câke stând, then spreâd â generous âmount of frosting on the top, then plâce the other câke round on top ând then frost the whole thing
