It is really low maintenance and let's face it a fabulous cake to have when you have coeliacs about - even us non-coeliacs will be vying for a piece. It's gorgeous and moist and the preparation method of the oranges gives it a deep and sweet but not sickly taste.
I'm yet to find someone who doesn't love this cake.... I'm sure there's someone out there but they're crazy friends, crazy!! It's delicious!
Ingredients:
2 oranges (I used navel)
6 eggs
250g caster sugar
250g almond meal
1 tsp baking powder
Method:
In a large pot, boil your oranges for 2 hours. (Yes, I really wrote 2 hours!) This can be done ahead of time and yes, you don't peel it or anything. Once done, set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees c.
In a food processor mix your eggs and caster sugar until well combined
Chop up your oranges roughly, skin intact - the house smells glorious when you're boiling them and then they are bright and lovely when you cut them!
Plonk them into your egg/sugar mixture and process until orange is miniscule!
Then add your almond meal and baking powder, process until well combined.
Pour into a greased 18 or 20cm springform pan.
Bake for 1 hour - give or take 10 minutes depending on pan you've used. Dust with icing sugar..
It's yummy served warm with cream too! (reheat in foil if you wish)

That looks delicious! I'm going to make one for a play date on Wednesday!
Well, I made it last night for the park today and it was delish! The girls loved it...there wasn't much left! And you're not wrong about the smell of the house while boiling the oranges...yummmmm. I'll definitely make it again :)
Um, What flour?
Other than almond meal, there's no flour in the recipe. I only ask as you mention flour under the second picture: Plonk them into your egg/flour mixture and process until orange is miniscule!
Yum, my sis makes almond cake but never with orange. Have to try this one thanks!
