Ingredients

  • 3 large oranges
  • 500 g white sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 500 g almond meal

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to the boil, add the oranges, cover and simmer for one hour.

Stain off the water. Cool the oranges. If you are in a hurry, I suggest you partly cool them.

While they are cooling, food process the sugar with the eggs until the sugar is dissolved and pour into a bowl.

Cut the oranges in half and de-seed them and put the oranges (with peel and pith) into a food processor and pulp until reasonably smooth.

Pour the pulp into the sugar/egg mix and add the almond meal. Gently mix together.

Pour mix into baking paper lined 24 - 26cm springform tin and bake for 50 - 60 minutes at 185°C.

Serve with creme fraiche, whipped cream, or vanilla ice-cream -- makes an awesome dessert. You could drizzle a little citrus liqueur around the plate.
