This cake is simply orange sunshine goodness. And it's gluten free, too ! It is a dense, moist cake that is perfect with just the glaze. Hubby really likes this one. I have been playing around with gf recipes since I have a friend who is gluten intolerant. WE eat it just because it is so darn delicious ! *note* This cake does not rise high, so don't be alarmed, lol. :)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Melt butter and set aside. Zest oranges then juice and strain them. You'll need 1 tsp. zest for the cake and 1/2 tsp. for the glaze. Reserve 1/4 c. of the orange juice for the glaze also.
- In large bowl, combine white rice flour, almond flour and baking powder and stir to mix. Now add 1/2 cup orange juice, eggs, 1 tsp. orange zest, 1/2 tsp. poppy seeds, 1/2 c. buttermilk or thinned kefir, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir to mix well.
- Take a brush and brush a 10 1/2 inch spring-form pan with some of the melted butter, then sprinkle some extra rice flour onto the pan to lightly dust the bottom and sides.
- Now add the rest of the melted butter into the batter, a little at a time, stirring between additions. Beat with mixer on med. high for 1 minute. Pour into pan, smooth then bake for 40- 45 minutes or until light golden brown. (it will look like cornbread)
- Remove from oven and let set in pan 5 minutes. Release, then turn onto plate, then invert onto serving plate. (this puts the top back on top) Let cool a little.
- ~~~~~~~~ GLAZE ~~~~~~~~~ In little pot add in 1/4 cup orange. Over medium heat, reduce by half. In small bowl add powdered sugar then pour in reduced orange juice. If too thick add a tad of milk or water, or a wee bit more orange juice (if you had some left over).
- Pour glaze over cake and spread with a smooth knife. (Cake can be slightly warm.) Sprinkle the 1/2 tsp. orange zest and a little poppy seeds over the glaze to garnish. Enjoy !
