This is a refreshing cake for summer picnics or teas. You can dust it with confectioners' sugar or make a wonderful orange glaze to drizzle over the top.
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 large oranges, unpeeled
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups ground almonds, divided
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
Orange slices for garnish
Wash the oranges and boil them whole (unpeeled) in enough water to cover completely for 30 minutes. Drain and allow to cool. Cut into quarters and remove any seeds. Place in a blender or processor and chop until it's like a rough puree. Beat the eggs in a bowl until thick and add the orange puree, ground almonds, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder. Mix well and pour into a deep greased and floured 9 inch cake pan. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 45 minutes or longer, until the center of the cake is set. Remove the pan to a cooling rack and allow to cool before turning out onto a serving dish. Serve garnished with orange slices. Cut into small pieces.
