Ingredients

  • 2 large oranges which have been boiled
  • 6 eggs lightly beaten
  • 250 gr 9oz of ground almonds
  • 250 gr 9oz of caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder

Instructions

  • Boil the oranges, barely covered in water in a covered saucepan until the skins are soft. Once cooled, cut them open, remove any pips and chop into rough segments, including the rind.
  • Preheat the oven to 175C/350F fan-forced and butter and flour a 24cm springform pan.
  • Blend the oranges and eggs together in a food processor or blender.
  • Mix the ground almonds, sugar and baking powder in a bowl and add the orange mixture and whisk it all together to combine.
  • Pour the batter in the cake tin and bake for 45 mins to 1 hour.
  • Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.
  • Dust with icing sugar or decorate with orange buttercream icing.

Enjoy!

    Notes

    * the oranges need to be cooled so if you have time it's best to boil them the night before.
