Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • pinch of Salt Small
  • 3-4 Tangelo Peeled and sliced in 1/4 inch rounds
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 sticks Unsalted Butter
  • Tangelo Zest From 2 tangelos
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Almond Extract
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Almond Flour Ground almond meal
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 6 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 2/3 cup Sliced Almonds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan, line with parchment paper, and grease the paper; set aside.
  • Place the sugar and water for the caramel in a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Continue to cook for about 10-15 minutes, swirling the pan, until the caramel reaches a golden color. Add in the butter and salt and swirl until melted.
  • Pour the caramel into the cake pan, and place enough tangelo slices in the bottom of the pan to cover.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the sugar, butter, zest, and almond extract for 5 minutes. Add in the flours, baking powder, and salt, and mix on low. Add in the eggs, and mix until just combined. Spread the batter over the tangelos and caramel.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, sugar, and almonds. Sprinkle over the batter. Cover the cake with a round of parchment paper and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the parchment paper cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until cooked through.
  • Allow the cake to cool for 5-10 minutes, then invert onto a platter.
