Recipe: Flourless Orange Cake

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!
