- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup powdered sweetener sugar substitute
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 teaspoon orange extract
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted

Cream Cheese Frosting

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F and grease a 9×5 loaf pan, then line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, powdered sweetener, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- In another large bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, orange extract, orange zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
