Ingredients:
oil to grease
2 oranges
3 medium (US large) eggs
225g/8oz/1 cup caster (superfine) sugar
300g/11oz/2¾cups ground almonds
1 tsp baking powder
icing (confectioner’s) sugar to dust
Method:
1 Grease and line a 20cm/8in springform cake tin.
2 Put the oranges in a pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer gently for 1 hour or until tender. Remove the oranges from the pan and set aside to cool. Cut in half and discard the pips. Blitz in a blender to a smooth purée.
