1¼
cup
sugar
2½
cups
ground almonds / almond flour
1
tsp
baking powder
1

Instructions
Wash the oranges then place them in a pot and fill with water. Allow the oranges to boil for 2 hours or until very soft.
Remove from the water and allow to cool then cut into chunks and remove the seeds. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and line a 23cm/9inch springform cake pan with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the eggs and sugar for 3-5 minute or until pale and voluminous.
Add the orange puree, ground almonds, vanilla, baking powder and salt and whip for another 1-2 minutes or until all the ingredients are combined.
Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan. Scatter over the flaked almonds then place in the oven.
Allow to bake for 50-60 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.
