Preheat the oven to 330°F and coat the bottom of a spring cake tin (9½ inch in diameter) with baking paper and grease the edges with coconut oil.

Combine almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa and baking salt in a mixing bowl and stir.

Mix the eggs, maple syrup, orange juice, coconut oil, orange zest and salt into the flour. Use a hand mixer if necessary. Mix until the batter is smooth.

Spoon the batter into the spring tin and smooth out with a spoon.

Bake the cake in 35 minutes and let it cool completely. Do you want to make more than 1 layer? Repeat the above steps for the following layers. Allow the cakes to cool completely before you put the frosting on.

When making the frosting, you are going to heat it up so the proteins pasteurize. This means that the temperature becomes high enough to kill possible bacteria.

Note: make the frosting just before serving! When you leave the frosted cake in the fridge for more than a few hours, the frosting decreases considerably in volume (the taste is the same, but it looks a little less appealing).

Bring a generous layer of water to the boil in a (sauce)pan and look for a large mixing bowl that fits exactly on the pan. This is your au bain-marie.

Mix the egg whites, maple syrup and orange juice briefly in the large mixing bowl.

Does the water boil in the pan? Then place the mixing bowl on the pan and lower the heat so that the water continues to boil gently.

Beat the mixture in the mixing bowl at high speed with a hand mixer for about 7-10 minutes. The frosting becomes nicely cream-colored, glossy and a bit firmer.

Remove the mixing bowl from the pan (turn off the heat) and continue to beat for another 5 minutes until you have a lumpy and airy frosting and the mixture has cooled.

Brush the cakes generously with the frosting, stack the layers on top of each other and also cover the top and sides with the frosting. Serve immediately!
