Total Time: 17 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 2 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 10
• 3 large oranges
• 500 g sugar
• 6 large eggs
• 500 g almond meal

Recipe

• 1 bring a pot of water to the boil, add the oranges, cover and simmer for one hour.
• 2 stain off the water. cool the oranges. if you are in a hurry, i suggest you partly cool them -- (this will still work).
• 3 while they are cooling, food process the sugar with the eggs until the sugar is dissolved and pour into a bowl.
• 4 cut the oranges in half and de-seed them and put the oranges (with peel and pith) into a food processor and pulp until reasonably smooth.
• 5 pour the pulp into the sugar/egg mix and add the almond meal. gently mix together.
• 6 pour mix into baking paper lined 24 - 26cm springform tin and bake for 50 - 60 minutes at 185°c.
• 7 serve with creme fraiche, whipped cream, or vanilla ice-cream -- makes an awesome dessert. you could drizzle a little citrus liqueur around the plate.
• 8 added thoughts -- this cake does not need any syrup poured over it.
• 9 nb.simply double this recipe to get two large cakes. it is just as successful.
• 10 occasionally, i will add a slurp of grand marnier, contreau, or galliano; however, try it plain initially.
