Orange Almond Cake (Gluten Free)

4.5(11)

I have tried many citrus cakes and finally found one that is awesome in texture and flavour. This is the most amazing, simple, foolproof cake. I have made it many, many times, and it has never failed. Sometimes I use lemons, or limes and weigh them to ensure they equal the orange volume/weights. I used it as a gluten free option at our daughter's wedding along with her wedding cake. ENJOY!!! Kiwi Trish

Instructions (10 steps)

01Bring a pot of water to the boil, add the oranges, cover and simmer for one hour.
02Stain off the water. Cool the oranges. If you are in a hurry, I suggest you partly cool them -- (this will still work).
03While they are cooling, food process the sugar with the eggs until the sugar is dissolved and pour into a bowl.
04Cut the oranges in half and de-seed them and put the oranges (with peel and pith) into a food processor and pulp until reasonably smooth.
05Pour the pulp into the sugar/egg mix and add the almond meal. Gently mix together.
06Pour mix into baking paper lined 24 - 26cm springform tin and bake for 50 - 60 minutes at 185°C.
