Equipment

  • Large pot for boiling
  • Food processor or blender
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • 8-inch round cake tin.
  • Baking paper.
  • Wire cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large seedless oranges.
  • 3 cups almond meal.
  • 1 cup white sugar.
  • 1 tsp baking powder.
  • 6 large eggs.
  • Butter for greasing the pan.

Instructions
 

  • Wash your oranges well. Put them in a pot of water. Boil them for two hours. This makes them very soft.
  • Let the oranges cool down. Cut them and remove any seeds. Blend the whole oranges into a smooth paste.
  • Whisk the eggs and sugar together. Do this until the mix is pale. Use a large bowl for this.
  • Fold in the orange puree. Add the almond meal and baking powder. Stir everything gently until smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the tin. Bake at 160°C for 60 minutes. The top should be golden brown.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan. Move it to a wire rack later. Dust with powdered sugar if you like.

Notes

  • Use thin-skinned oranges for less bitterness.
  • Make sure the boiled oranges are cool first.
  • Do not over-mix the egg batter.
  • Check the center with a skewer.
  • Let the cake rest before slicing it.
