Flourless Almond Orange Cake

Ingredients

  • 4 whole oranges, boiled and chopped
  • 6 whole eggs
  • 1/2 pound Mandelin Blanched Whole Almonds
  • 1/2 pound sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Boil the oranges whole in water until soft, about 30 minutes. Discard water.

  2. Combine the sugar and almonds and grind in a food processor.

  3. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until the oranges are pureed and everything comes together as a batter. If your food processor is too small this can be done in small batches and then whisked together.

  4. Bake in a buttered cake pan in a 350F oven for about 30 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

  5. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
