Orange and almond cake with orange-thyme syrup

This Spanish-style orange and almond cake is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, made with whole oranges, ground almonds, eggs, and olive oil for a rich yet balanced texture. Finished with a fragrant orange and thyme syrup, this Mediterranean-inspired cake is moist, aromatic, and not overly sweet. Perfect for an elegant dessert, afternoon coffee, or a nourishing bake that feels indulgent without being heavy.
