Flourless Orange Cake

Ingredients

• 2 medium oranges, fresh whole with rind on – any type (~600g total)
• 6 g baking powder
• 6 large eggs
• 250 g white sugar
• 250 g almond meal

Directions

1. Place oranges in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over medium high heat. Boil for 40 minutes and drain.
2. Rinse oranges, then cool slightly so you can handle them. Slice into 1cm / 1/4" slices then dice, removing any seeds. Cool completely.
3. Preheat oven to 160°C/320°F (140°C fan). Grease and line a 23cm/9" cake pan with baking/parchment paper.
4. Place chopped oranges in a food processor (Note 6). Blitz on high for 4 x 10 second bursts, scraping down the sides in between, until it’s pureed into a marmalade consistency with only a few visible bits of rind remaining. It does not need to be completely smooth.
5. Add almond meal, eggs, baking powder and sugar. Blitz for 5 – 10 seconds on high until combined.
6. Pour into prepared cake pans. Bake 60 minutes until the surface is golden and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
7. Cool fully in cake pan.

Notes:

• Cake pans – also great in 2 x 20cm/8″ pans, 50 minutes in oven, or 2 x loaf tins for ~45 mins.
