Valencia
Oranges are great this time of year, so grab 2
medium sized Valencia’s
and have some fun.
And remember, the brighter the colour the sweeter the
orange!
Flourless Orange Cake
Serves 6
Ingredients
Whole Valencia orange [medium] x 2
White Sugar x 250g
Eggs whole x 5 each
Almond Meal x 250g
Baking powder x 2 tea spoon
1 x 8 inch round spring form cake tin lined with baking paper
Method
Boil oranges in 1.5 litres of water for 1 hour in a medium size pot covered with a lid, drain then cool for 10 minutes
Blend whole cooked oranges in a food processor
for two minutes or until they are a little chunky and place them in a
large bowl
Whisk eggs & sugar into the orange paste for 3 - 4 minutes
Using a spoon, fold the almond meal and baking powder into the orange mixture
Spoon the cake mixture into the lined cake tin
and bake on 160 degrees Celsius for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on your
oven
The middle of cake should feel just set
Allow to cool for an hour before turning the cake out
Serve with strawberries
I also like to add a little double cream or vanilla ice-cream
Enjoy!
