Orange Corn Flakes cake, a good and simple cake without flour, therefore gluten-free, naturally you already know that corn is gluten-free. Corn flakes or corn flakes were invented by the Kellogg brothers, (hence the name) who were doctors and needed to recycle stale grain; so they created this product to serve to their clinic patients. Obviously, shortly after, these products evolved and today we all know the wide range of corn flakes. I always choose orange marmalades for my cakes and fresh oranges, I think it is due to my “Sicilianity” Forgive me. This cake corn flakes resembles my ricotta cake with orange marmalade very much, I really like it in this version, but it can be made with any marmalade you prefer. Both recipes can be found on my blog.giallozafferano.it/vaipinacucina. On my blog you will also find a section dedicated to Gluten Free

Preparation of the Orange Corn Flakes Cake
Using the chopper, I ground the corn flakes into powder
I melted the butter in a double boiler and poured it over the previously ground corn flakes and mixed them well together.
I covered a springform pan with parchment paper and placed the butter and ground corn flakes mixture
With the back of a spoon, I leveled the base of my butter and corn flakes cake, and while I prepare the cream, I let it rest in the fridge to cool.
With the electric whisk, I prepare the cream with sugar and egg, grated orange peel, almond flour, and ricotta.
I pour the cream over the base of corn flakes and butter
I put it in the oven at 356°F for 20 minutes.
Let the corn flakes cake cool slightly and sprinkle with orange marmalade
