Ingredients

• 2 number navel oranges

• 6 number Eggs

• 2.5 cups blanched almond meal

• 1 cup organic raw sugar

• Ganache

• 1/2 cups pure cream (substitute with coconut cream for a dairy free option)

• 200 gram Dark chocolate

Directions

• Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and then simmer the oranges whole for 2 hours. Allow to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 190’C and grease and line your cake tin.
• Place the oranges in a food processor and mix until smooth.
• Add the remaining ingredients and mix until combined.
• Pour into a cake tin and cook for an hour and ten minutes –  it may need a bit longer. (Note: the cake should be quite moist but pulling away from the edges of the tin and a skewer should come out fairly clean).
• Allow the cake to cool a little before removing from the tin to cool completely.
• For the ganache, Melt the chocolate and cream in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water until melted, smooth and glossy. You may need to add a little more cream to get the consistency right.
• Allow to cool a bit and thicken, then smear over the cake (don’t do this until the cake is cool) and you are ready to serve. Enjoy!
