Here it is!
2 large oranges which have been boiled
6 eggs, lightly beaten
250 gr of ground almonds
250 gr of caster sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder
*I boiled the oranges the night before and allowed them to cool overnight before I prepared the cake the next day*
Boil the oranges, barely covered in water in a covered saucepan for 2 hours.
Once cooled, cut them open, remove any pips and chop into rough segments, including the rind.
Preheat the oven to 190 deg C and butter a 24cm springform pan.
Blend the oranges and eggs quite thoroughly in a food processor.
Mix the ground almonds, sugar and baking powder in a bowl and add the orange mixture and whisk it all together to combine.
Pour the batter in the cake tin and bake for 45 mins to 1 hour.
Once cooled turn it out on a cake rack and dust with icing sugar.
Serve with thick cream.
I boiled the clementines (used 4 in place of the 2 large oranges) last night....and also, when I chopped them up to remove the pips this morning, did my best to scrape off as much pith as possible, because I've made a similar one before and there was a slightly bitter aftertaste, which wasn't that bad, but less popular with the kids iykwim!
Also - prob best to cover with foil after the 45 minutes* or it'll burn!
VERY quick and easy to prepare, too (once your oranges are done, anyway).
Going to have it with greek yoghurt and a little dribble of maple syrup (and I might reheat it a little, first).
*I actually put it back in the oven after doing it for 45 minutes then trying it once it had cooled and discovering it was still a bit *wet* in the middle (although that may be because there was actually too much of the clementine mush in it (there were fairly large clementines )
....I ended up doing it, under foil, for another 30 mins but the hour would probably have done fine if I hadn't let it cool first).
. I chucked it and replaced it with some fresh and my cakes have been a lot better since.
