Flourless butterless orange almond cake



2 large oranges, boiled
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
250g of ground almonds
160g of sugar
1 tsp double acting baking powder

1. Place the oranges in a medium pot. Add water until the oranges are barely covered. Cover the pot and boil the oranges for 2 hours.

2. Let it cool to the room temperature. Once it is cool, cut them into segments (with the skins). Remove any seeds. Cut them into chunks and set aside.

3. Preheat the oven at 190 C. Butter and flour a springform pan. Set aside.

4. In a medium bowl, combine the ground almond, sugar, and baking powder. Set aside.

5. Using a food processor, blend the oranges until you get a smooth paste then add in the eggs. Pulse a few times to combine.

6. Pour the orange and egg mixture into a large bowl and slowly add the almond mixture. Mix until incorporated.

7. Pour the cake mixture into the springform pan and bake for 45 mins to 1 hour or until the knife comes out clean.

8. Cool it on a rack to room temperature.
