I have this recipe for many years, way before gluten-free is “trendy” and few knew what coeliac disease is. This flourless orange and almond cake remains one of my favourites all these years. It’s wonderfully light and refreshing, and simply melts-in-your-mouth. It doesn’t require many ingredients which is always a bonus. And it’s so easy to make that I’m almost tempted to say that it’s fail-proof. The only downside to this recipe is that it’s time-consuming because you need to simmer the oranges for at least an hour. Sometimes, I would add a tablespoon of orange liqueur (e.g. Cointreau) to make this cake just that little bit special. For those who like frosting on their cakes, cream cheese frosting with finely grated orange zest will go well with this cake. Today though, I opt for a light brush of warmed orange marmalade over the top of the cake and decorate it with candied orange slices. Of course, this cake will just be as good on its own. Oh, this can be made into cupcakes too, just so you know. This cake is best serve chilled and a day after it’s made. The flavour and texture of this cake will be so much better after a day or two of rest. Flourless Orange and Almond Cake Makes 22cm diameter cake Flourless Orange and Almond Cake 2 medium size oranges (about 240g each), unpeeled 6 eggs 180 grams (1 cup) caster sugar 250 grams (2 1/2 cups) almond meal 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 tablespoons orange marmalade (optional) To make cake: Place whole unpeeled oranges in saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to the boil. Once the water starts to boil, drain water, cover oranges with fresh water, bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour or until the oranges are soft. Remove oranges and allow to cool. Discard cooking liquid. Once the oranges are completely cooled, preheat oven to 180C conventional (or 160C fan-forced). Line base and side of a 22cm diameter round cake tin with baking paper. Trim and discard ends from oranges, quarter the oranges, then remove any seeds. Process oranges in a food processor until smooth. Whisk eggs and sugar in bowl of electric mixer, on high speed, until thick and pale in colour. Reduce speed of mixer, gradually add orange puree, pouring it down the side of the bowl so not to deflate the eggs mixture, until just combined. Add mixture of almond meal and baking powder in 3 batches, along the side of the bowl, whisk until well combined. Pour mixture into prepared tin. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into centre comes out clean. Allow cake to cool completely in cake tin, then refrigerate, preferably overnight. Before serving, warm orange marmalade in the microwave for one minute, brush marmalade over cake. Top with candied orange slices. Candied Orange Slices 1 medium size orange, thinly sliced 250 grams caster sugar 300ml water To make candied orange slices: Place orange slices in a small saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to the boil. Once the water starts to boil, drain and discard liquid. Combine sugar and 300ml water in a saucepan, bring to boil. Once the sugar is completely dissolve and the syrup starts to boil, reduce heat to the lowest possible heat with just barely a bubble breaking the surface. Return the drained orange slices to the barely simmering sugar syrup, cook for about 1 hour or until the zest is transparent and glossy. Cool in the syrup before using, or refrigerate (with the orange slices still in the syrup) until ready to use.

Sicilian Orange cake is a very soft, fragrant and easy to make cake. It’s perfect for any occasion, but is a real treat with a cup of tea or coffee. You can make Sicilian orange cake all year round, but in the fall and winter, when oranges are at their best, it tastes even better. This Italian dessert recipe has its roots in the Sicilian tradition. In Sicily they call this cake “Pan d’Arancio“. The peculiarity of this Orange Cake is the use of the WHOLE ORANGE: juice, pulp and peel. This gives the cake its particular soft, moist texture and its characteristic bitter note. Another feature of this traditional Sicilian recipe, besides the use of whole oranges, is the presence of ALMOND FLOUR which makes the cake even softer. Finally, another important aspect: this cake is made with NO MILK and NO BUTTER. This makes it light and perfect even for vegetarians or lactose intolerant people.
