Cook time:
2 3/4 hours
Serves:
8
  • 2 oranges
  • 6 eggs
  • seeds from 8 cardamom pods, finely chopped
  • 3 cups ground almonds
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Put the oranges, whole and unpeeled, in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until very soft (11⁄2 hours). Set aside to cool, then cut open and discard the pips. Place flesh and skins in a food processor and whizz to form a purée.

Preheat oven to 170°C/340°F fanbake. Grease the sides of a 22-23cm/9in springform cake tin and line the base with baking paper.

Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add orange purée and all other ingredients and mix thoroughly. The mixture will be very wet.

Pour into prepared cake tin and bake until it is set and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean (about 1 hour).

If the cake is still very wet, cook a little longer. Allow to cool in tin before turning out. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

I am super keen to make this dessert but I've just found out my guests are vegans is there any optional idea for swapping out the eggs¿
