Orange and Almond Cake

By mangia_g2

Ingredients

• 1 orange
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup confectioners sugar
• 1/4 cup flour, sifted
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup ground almonds
• 1/2 cup marmalade
• Confectioners sugar, for dusting

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8 inch springform pan and line with wax paper.

Put orange in a pan, cover with water and simmer for 1 hour (or nuke in a microwave for about 25 minutes) until soft. Cut the orange in half, remove the seeds and puree in a food processor.

Beat eggs and sugar until pale and thick. Fold in the flour, baking powder, almonds and orange puree. Pour into the pan and bake for 1 hour.

Melt the marmalade in a small pan, then pour through a fine sieve, pressing to get all the juice out. Spread the rind-free juice over the cake.

When cool, sift the confectioners sugar over the cake. May serve with whipped cream, if desired.
