Orange & Almond Cake.

,

This recipe has been thrown around our family, we’ve all been making it for yers, so i’m unsure of the original recipe creator. Theres a few different versions of this cake, this one is fail proof.

The ingredients are minimal, the method gets your boiling oranges for 2 hours - dont let this put you off. Boiling the oranges takes the bitterness from the skin and lets you use the whole orange to make the most decadent cake. Its worth it!

Ingredients

  • 2 large oranges

  • 6 large eggs

  • 2 cups plus 2 Tbs. ground almonds

  • 1 cup coconut sugar

  • 1 tsp. baking powder

  • Butter or oil, for the greasing cake tin

Instructions

  1. Wash and boil the oranges (unpeeled) in a pot of water for 2 hours.

  2. Cut the oranges open and remove the seeds. Turn the oranges into pulp by blending in a blender or food processor.

  3. Pre-heat oven to 180 deg c & grease your cake tin.

  4. Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the ground almonds, sugar, baking powder, and orange puree and mix thoroughly. *make sure oranges have cooled slightly so you don’t cook the egg.

  5. Pour into prepared cake tin and bake for 1 hour. cool in cake tin before turning out onto a plate.

Delicious with a dollop greek yoghurt or fresh cream.

Enjoy xx
