Orange and Almond Cake (Pesach)

Ingredients
2 oranges

6 eggs
250g caster sugar
250g almond meal

Syrup
Juice of 2 oranges
1 cup sugar

Preparation
Place the oranges in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 15 minutes. Drain and repeat. (Cooking the oranges twice makes the skin less bitter). Coarsely chop and remove seeds.

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Break 6 eggs into a food processor. Add caster sugar and blend together. Place the two whole oranges (including the skin) into the egg mix. Break up the oranges and then blend together to a smooth consistency. Add the almond meal and blend.

Grease a rectangular baking tray.

Pour batter into the pan and bake for 40 mins or until the top is golden brown.

Syrup Optional

Poke holes in top of cake with a skewer, allow to cool for about 15 minutes while you make the syrup.

To make syrup: heat juice and sugar together on a low heat, stir until syrupy. Pour over cake.
