Crazy amount of sugar! I used 120g of a combination of rapadura sugar, organic honey and maple syrup. To reduce the amount TM bowl washing required in this method, buy almond meal instead of using whole almonds, cook the oranges and make the sauce in a saucepan rather than the TM bowl.
A simpler method, therefore, is:
1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease a 20cm round springform pan and line the base with baking paper.
2. Put the 2 whole oranges into the a saucepan and cover with water. Cook for 45 minutes. When the oranges are ready, place into bowl of cold water until cool enough to handle.
3. While organges are ccoking, place 120g of sugar/honey/maple combination, cinamon, teaspoon of vanilla and eggs in TM bowl and mill for 10 seconds on speed 8 or until thoroughly mixed. To save even more time, consider preparing the topping at this stage in a small saucepan using only 50g of sugar/honey/maple combination.
4. Cut cooled oranges into eighths. Remove pips and end pieces. Place into TM bowl with egg mixture and mill for 30 seconds on speed 8. Inpect regularly to make sure there are no lumpy bits of orange left. Process for longer if necessary.
5. Place almond meal and baking powder in TM bowl and mill for 10 seconds on speed 7. Scrape down sides pf TM boel anf repeat the process until mixture is smooth.
6. Spoon completed cake mixture into prepared tin and bake for one hour or until a skewer inserted into centre comes out clean. Set aside in pan to cool completely.
So there you have it! I hope this improves your expeience of cooking this cake!
Beautiful and moist. I substituted sugar for honey ( reduced the amount) and added 30g extra of nuts. Great recipe, thanks
I made this today and just added a bit of ground cloves and a splash of orange blossom water. Divine! Thanks for the great recipe!
Thats a great idea Emilyteds. I will try the friands.
I made this for afternoon tea a couple of days ago.
I didn't pre-cook the oranges - just blitzed them up fresh.
Baked it as individual friand sized portions.
Really yummy and very moist!
