Pan d’arancio , also called pan d’orange, is a typical dessert of the Sicilian gastronomic tradition. A soft cake with a pleasantly moist consistency, prepared by blending both the pulp and the zest of this wonderful winter fruit, rich in beneficial properties. Easy to make, it can be prepared in just a few minutes and, once cooked, it will release a truly irresistible fragrance.
The result is a soft and delicious dessert, perfect for breakfast , a snack or to offer to guests as a dessert at the end of the meal. For its preparation the whole fruit is used, including the peel: for this reason it is important to use organic and not chemically treated oranges. For those with a sweet tooth, we recommend adding dark chocolate chips or raisins to the mixture.

On the surface, however, for a more rustic effect, try adding flaked almonds , pecans or hazelnuts, toasted and roughly chopped. For a gluten free variant, you can replace the 00 flour with brown rice flour, while the granulated sugar with whole cane flour or erythritol , for a dessert with a very low glycemic index. Instead of seed oil, you can add an extra virgin olive oil with a sweet and delicate taste. If you like, you can also add spices, such as cinnamon, vanilla or cardamom seeds.
