Cook millet with 2 cups of water.
When the water has almost evaporated, add the milk, vegetable oil, coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla pod cut in half.
Everything should cook for approximately 30 minutes, until the millet is tender. If the mixture is too thick, you can add more milk. Remove the vanilla pod.
Add the remaining ingredients (except orange peel) and stir to obtain a creamy consistency. At the end, add the grated orange peel.
Pour the batter into a springform pan, sprinkle with almonds, and bake approximately 390°F for an hour.
