Flourless Orange & Almond Cake

Follow this recipe and you will have an exceptional cake. It makes a 22cm (9 in) round cake and the recipe has been adapted from Planet Cake.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 oranges-scrub the skin
  • 8 eggs
  • 420 grams caster sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 420 grams of your leftover ground almonds (toasted or raw)
  • Optional: 75 grams poppy seeds

Method

  1. After scrubbing the oranges, leave them wholes and put them in a large saucepan with plenty of water to cover them. Place a small plate on top of them to keep them under water. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer for an hour until the oranges are very soft.
  2. Grease the tin and line the bottom and sides with baking paper.
  3. Drain the oranges and leave them to cool enough to handle. Cut each orange into quarters and remove any pips before pureeing in a blender or food processor.
  4. Beat the eggs, sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt until pale and creamy. Beat in the almonds and up to 420 grams of orange puree. Stir Poppy seeds through if adding. Leave for 20 minutes and preheat the oven to 180 degrees (350F)
  5. Pour into the tin and bake for one hour and thirty minutes until golden brown and a skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely in the tin.
