A vibrant, gluten-free cake made with whole oranges, almond meal, and eggs, offering a moist and flavorful dessert.

2 medium oranges, fresh whole with rind on ((600g/1.4 lb total weight, ~300g / 10 oz each, ~8cm/3" diameter))
1 1/4 tsp baking powder (gluten-free if required)
1 1/4 cups white sugar
2 3/4 cups almond meal / ground almonds
6 large eggs, at room temperature

Boil oranges three times, draining after each boil, or for 40 minutes continuously. Cool and dice.
Puree the oranges in a food processor until marmalade-like, with some rind bits.
Mix orange puree with almond meal, eggs, baking powder, and sugar until just combined.
Pour batter into a greased 23cm cake pan and bake at 160°C (320°F) for 60 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely, then decorate as desired and serve.

Use fresh oranges for the best flavor and ensure the cake is fully cooled before decorating.
