Orange & Almond Cake – Gluten-Friendly Handmade Luxury in Every Slice

Some cakes whisper comfort; others shine like a sunbeam. Our Orange and Almond Cake does both, a tender, moist, gluten-friendly cake that captures the warmth of Brisbane mornings and the artistry of handmade baking.

At Dello Mano, we’ve spent over 18 years perfecting the balance between simplicity and luxury. This cake is our ode to handmade craft, where zested orange peel meets almond meal and butter to create a cake both gluten-friendly and utterly indulgent.

When we first developed this cake, our goal was to offer a gluten-friendly cake that didn’t feel like a compromise. We wanted a cake that felt wholehearted, made with real ingredients, deliberate attention, and our signature calm-luxury finish.

Whole oranges are gently simmered to soften their rind and release natural sweetness before being folded through toasted almond meal and fresh eggs. The result is a moist crumb that tastes like sunlight and comfort.

We bake in small batches to maintain control over texture and flavour. Every cake is finished by hand, never rushed, never mass-produced.

Transparency is a cornerstone of our craft. Although this cake contains no gluten ingredients, it is baked in our shared kitchen where flour ( and other allergens) is handled. That’s why we describe it as gluten-friendly, not gluten-free – a promise of honesty and care for every customer.

This philosophy extends to our entire range of → Gluten-Friendly Cakes Brisbane – each crafted for inclusion without sacrifice to taste.

Our Orange and Almond Cake Brisbane is available for delivery across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast, ensuring every slice of handmade indulgence arrives fresh and beautifully presented.

All Dello Mano cakes are to preserve their texture and quality. We don’t ship cakes interstate, instead, we focus on perfect local delivery, where freshness and presentation remain uncompromised.

Cut through the golden crust and you’ll find a soft, fragrant centre with the aroma of freshly grated orange peel and the gentle sweetness of almonds. The cake stays beautifully moist for days, a testament to our small-batch method and natural ingredients.

We avoid artificial additives to retain the delicate texture. A fine dusting of icing sugar or a swirl of citrus glaze adds a bright finish for celebrations or simple moments of pause.

And just as our → Brownie Delivery Australia-Wide service redefined how handmade indulgence can travel, this cake continues that same spirit of generosity and craft, baked in Brisbane, delivered locally with care.

At Dello Mano, we believe frosting should be more than decoration, it’s part of the flavour story. Too often, cakes are topped with a thin, sugary layer that looks pretty but tastes hollow. Our philosophy has always been different: use real ingredients, in generous measure, made by hand.

Our cream cheese frosting is whipped from real cream cheese and butter, never substitutes or blends. We take the time to balance tang, richness, and texture so it feels lush but never heavy, the kind of frosting you remember from home baking before shortcuts became the norm.

The result is a homestyle frosting that complements rather than hides the cake beneath it. It’s smooth, subtly tangy, and made fresh in small batches for each order. For us, this isn’t just about taste, it’s about integrity. Luxury, after all, lies not in excess but in attention, and every swirl of our frosting is a quiet expression of that belief.

Luxury at Dello Mano isn’t loud, it’s the quiet consistency of real butter, fresh fruit, and human touch.

Our cake artisans test batter texture by eye and scent, not software. Every cake is checked for colour, crumb, and aroma before leaving our Brisbane kitchen.

From the moment it is wrapped in gold-stamped paper to its arrival at your door, the process is imbued with the same attention as our brownies that made Dello Mano Australia’s brownie pioneers in 2006.

The cake’s natural structure makes it suitable for storing in the fridge for many days.

Each Orange and Almond Cake is baked in limited runs to reduce waste and energy use. We source Australian almonds and local eggs where possible, minimising our footprint while maximising flavour.

Handmade production means no two cakes are identical, a reminder that perfection can be beautifully human.
