Flourless orange and almond cake

Ingredients

  • 2 large thin-skinned oranges
  • 210g (1 cup) caster sugar
  • 200g almond meal (finely ground almonds)
  • 2.5ml (half tsp) baking powder
  • 6 extra-large eggs
  • Icing sugar, for dusting

Method

Place the oranges in a large pan and cover with water. Cover with a lid, bring to the boil and simmer for 2hours, adding more water if necessary. Remove from the water and leave to cool completely, then cut into quarters and remove all the pips. Place the orange quarters in the bowl of a food processor, skin and all, with all the remaining ingredients and process until well blended. Pour into a greased 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin and bake for 45-60 minutes, until risen and firm to the touch. Allow to cool and serve dusted with icing sugar.
