Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 oranges
- 2 cups almond meal
- 5 eggs
- ⅓ cup raw honey or maple syrup
- ½ cup raw cacao powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp bicarb soda
- ½ tsp vanilla bean paste
- Fresh fruit, for decorating
- Natural yoghurt, to serve
Method
- Preheat oven to 170ºC.
- Grease large cake tin with coconut oil and cut out circle of baking paper for bottom of tin. This will prevent cake from sticking.
- Place whole oranges (with skin) in large pot of boiling water and simmer for 1 hour with lid on.
- Once oranges are cooked, cut in quarters and place in food processor.
- Add all other ingredients to food processor and blend until mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour mixture into cake tin and bake for 50–60 mins, until a skewer comes out clean from centre.
- Tip: When using whole fruit (including skin) use organic produce when you can to prevent any nasties ending up in your cake.
