Flourless, butterless cake that's wheat allergy-friendly, easy to make, and keeps well for up to 4 days. Simply scrumptious!
Ingredients:
  • 2 large oranges
  • 250g raw sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 250g (1 1/2 cups) ground almonds
  • 0.63 gm bicarbonate of soda
  • Icing sugar, to decorate
  • Cocoa powder, to decorate
  • Thick cream, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, submerge the oranges in water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 hours, adding more water as needed to keep the oranges covered. Drain and let cool slightly.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • Prepare a 25cm springform pan by coating it with butter and lining the base with non-stick baking paper.
  • Quarter the oranges, ensuring to remove any core and seeds. Transfer the oranges, including both flesh and rind, to a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Whisk eggs and sugar until they become thick and light in color. Mix almonds and bicarbonate of soda, then gently incorporate into the egg mixture along with the pureed oranges until fully blended.
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan.
  • Garnish with a dusting of icing sugar and cocoa powder, and pair with velvety thick cream for serving.
