Ingredients
- 2 large oranges (preferably seedless)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 ½ cups (250g) almond flour (or finely ground almonds)
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the oranges:
Wash the oranges well and place them (with peel) in a pot of water. Boil for about 30 minutes to soften. Drain, cool slightly, then cut into chunks and remove any seeds. - Blend the oranges:
Place the boiled orange chunks (including peel) in a food processor and blend until smooth. - Make the batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the blended orange, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until fully combined. - Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil if it browns too quickly. - Cool & serve:
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with orange glaze if desired.
