What better to do on a rainy day than to bake a delicious (dairy free) treat!!! I’m still on the dairy free bandwagon and am running out of ideas (that aren’t lemon themed!!!). It’s also gluten free, which is even better.
This was super easy to make – and the fun thing? You boil the oranges, then puree them whole, skin and all!!! Best thing – you can make this cake with just one bowl and there are only five ingredients.
Here is the recipe – taken from SBS Food Network.
Ingredients
- 2 oranges, washed
- 250 grams caster sugar
- 6 eggs
- 250 grams almond meal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- icing sugar, to serve
Method
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Wash the oranges and cook in the boiling water for 2 hours. Drain, allow to cool to room temperature. This step can be done ahead of time.
- Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease and line a 22 cm cake tin with baking paper (or grease with dairy free spread such as Nuttelex and coat with flour).
- Beat the eggs and caster until well combined. Add in your oranges (cooked and whole!!). Use a barmix to pulverise the oranges into the mix (you will find they break down really easily once cooked).
- Stir in the almond meal and baking powder. Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Bake for 1-1¼ hours, until the top is golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the tin. Dust with icing sugar
