Here is how you make Heart Healthy Orange Cake:

Serving Size:?Makes 12 servingsSubmerge the eggs, straight from the fridge, in a bowl of hot tap water and let sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.Heat the oven to 350. Spray a 10 inch springform or other round cake pan with cooking spray. Cut a round of parchment paper for the bottom of the pan and spray it as well.Place the walnuts and .5 cup spelt flour in a food processor. Pulse until walnuts are finely ground (NOT until they are walnut butter!)Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the remaining flour, baking powder, salt and orange zest.With an electric mixer, beat the eggs until frothy. Slowly add the Splenda and the brown sugar and beat on high speed until thick, pale yellow and doubled in volume (may take up to 5 min). Lower the speed and gradually add the flour/walnut mixture, then the olive oil and finally the orange juice. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 30 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl.Pour the batter carefully into the prepared pan and run a knife through it to break up any air bubbles. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until a tester inserted into the centre comes out clean, about 45 to 55 min.Cool the cake completely in the pan on a rack, then carefully turn it out and remove the parchment paper. Wrap it tightly or place it in an air tight container and let it sit at room temperature for a day before serving. Or you can freeze it for up to 2 months. Let it thaw completely before serving at room temperature.
