Orange and almond cake

Cuisine: Jewish Created by Batia Slater

Batia Slater shares this easy orange and almond cake recipe with Food Safari's Maeve O'Meara. Flourless Orange and Almond Cake is a classic Passover dessert drawing on the Sephardic traditions of Morocco, the Mediterranean and the Middle East (where citrus was more available).

Ingredients

2 oranges
6 eggs
250g caster sugar
250g almond meal
1tsp baking powder
Extra caster sugar for dusting before baking
Icing sugar for dusting after baking
Margarine or oil spray (for greasing the pan)
 

Preparation

Wash oranges and place unpeeled, in a pot of boiling water for 2 hours. Drain the water and allow the oranges to cool. This can be done ahead of time.

Preheat oven to 190°C.

Break 6 eggs into a mixing bowl or blender. Add caster sugar and beat or blend together.
Place the two oranges into the egg mix. Break up the oranges and then blend together to a smooth consistency. Add the almond meal and baking powder and blend.

Grease a 20 cm spring form baking pan with margarine (or vegetable oil spray) and dust with caster sugar.

Pour batter into the pan and sprinkle caster sugar on top and bake for 1 hour to an hour and a half or until the top is golden brown.

Dust with icing sugar to serve.

Frozen
Can this cake be frozen? As it takes some time to make, it would be beneficial for me to make in advance and freeze.

Orange and almond cake
Made this recently after watching a re-run of the Jewish recipe. Delish!!!!!!!!! Mind you reading the comments and getting all the tips from other commentators beforehand has helped enormously. Removing the pith was a definite go-er as was the oven temp recommendation and baking paper lining. I mixed everything in a food processor. Hope more Jewish recipes are forthcoming. Todah.

Orange and Almond Cake
The cake came out extremely moist however I wasn't too sure on whether or not i hate completelely cooked out the bitterness of the oranges. I ended up using 2.5 small oranges and I made my own almond meal using raw almonds with their skin on for extra fibre. I wish the recipe specified whether the eggs were medium, large or extra large

This cake is a hit.
I made this cake three times and each time it disappeared quickly and I ended up sharing the recipe each time. I use three navel oranges, add an extra egg and bump up the almonds to 300 grams so it can fill my spring form pan. I take raw almonds and put it in the food processor to grind up into meal. Cheaper that way. I leave the dark outer part on the almonds before grinding and serve the cake with fresh whipped cream with a bit of vanilla and sugar. Delicious.

Deelish. And very simple to make. Has anyone tried to make it with pears or apples? Would that work on principle?

Refreshing cake!
I made this exact to the recipe but cooked oranges for only 1 hr and baked at 190C at 45 minutes. The cake came out of the tin in perfect shape. I used almond meal (expensive) in the recipe as suggested, but I will be trying this again with flour next time.

Loved it
Made this for a birthday party and everyone loved it. Sooooooooooo moist. I didn't simmer oranges for 2 hours as the recipe said. I did for 1.5 hours and in a fan forced oven for 170 degrees c. You could get away with simmering oranges for 1 hour as other recipes for orange and almond cake state. Will try fiona from coburg norths idea of in the microwave for 20min without changing the water. I didn't find the cake bitter at all.

BRILLIANT!!!!! 5 STARS
The taste and look make it look complex but oh so simple. One trick I use to make sure it's not bitter is to microwave the oranges for 10min then change water and microwave for another 10min put in cold water till you can handle them remove pips and off you go, works a treat.

EASY & DELICIOUS
I have this cake baking in the oven right now, again! It is super easy, absolutely delicious, moist and it is now my favourite cake - ever! I steam the oranges in a rice cooker (with tray insert) until soft, usually about an hour. In a fan forced oven, I set the temperature to 170C. Dust with icing sugar. A real crowd pleaser.

I was given this recipe several years ago, without knowing its origins. A moist. low fat and gluten free treat that does not last long in our family fridge! Has wonderful taste, for an easy recipe-I was surprised the first time that the oranges would be pulped.

Cancel that
Great recipe. Really adaptable too. Used four small navel oranges and just threw in a bit more almond meal and sugar. Blender exploded when I was demolishing the fruit so threw it in the magic bullet and used electric beaters to make the mixture super creamy and smooth. Got a smaller cake and two ramekins out of the mixture, with about an hour cooking time on 190 (switched from fan-forced to conventional - and threw some foil on top -when they went brown within five mins). A hit with vanilla IC!

How much oranges?
I have some small navel oranges I want to use up by making a couple of these cakes. I'm thinking three of them will equal two normal-sized oranges, but does anyone have a measurement I should aim for once the pump etc is blended?

rising advice
I made this cake on the weekend, it was delicious but was more like a pudding than a cake, it did rise a little but not like the illustrated one & I put in 2 teaspoons of baking powder. I did everything as set out except I put it together in the blender as I don't have a hand stick one.

Dress it up
I've made this recipe substituting 2x oranges with 4x Mandarins then cut into small squares (or it is dense enough to use a cookie cutter if you want circles) and cover each cake in a dark chocolate ganache. Makes very delicious and very fancy little jaffa cakes if you want to impress!

I misread the recipe and only poured the boiling water over the oranges and didn't boil them for 2 hours. Another time I substituted mandarins for oranges, liked it better. Everyone love it.

Rosemary- Sugar alternative
Beautiful cake! rosemary if you add 'xylitol', one for one as sugar it sweetens it beautifully but is diet and diabetic friendly :) Xylitol is a natural low gi made from corn and birch wood so it isn't artificial either.

Give me the recipe!!!
I've now made this part of my "staple" recipes. Every time I make it it tastes superb and they ALL want the recipe. I don't sprinkle sugar on top because I find that it "blackens" the top of the cake. I don't want to say to much but it would have to be one the best ever cakes.

Without Eggs
I made this cake yesterday without eggs, i substituted it with 4 tbls of butter 1 tbls of vinegar and 1 cup honey and so lesser sugar was added. honey and butter worked very well to replace eggs. end result was delicious.

Easy amd delicious
I made this for bookclub last week - boiled the oranges on Monday night, made the cake on Tuesday night and served it with Southcape vanilla yougurt on Wednesday night to great acclaim as part of a 'Moroccan feast' themed bookclub dinner. I also thought that the cinnamon adn honey yougurt would go with this very nicely and the tartness of yogurt balances the sweetness well.

Line the springform pan with baking paper and don`t dust with sugar and it won`t stick .Also much better if baked the day before it is needed - too moist otherwise .

So yummmy.Make 2 in a week apart.My Duaghter classmates and my last night dinner guests just love it.Going to make another when my daughter come back from camp next week. Not forgetting the almond meal and orange has sugar content. The only ingredient i change is instead of 250g of caster sugar,I put 200g of raw caster sugar.That was perfect.Not too sweet.

very eggy
I made this cake & found it to be really easy, but it tasted far to eggy. I was told by someone to use a lot more almond meal. Will this make a difference.I want to make it again & as it's not a cheap cake to make I want to get it right. Most of the last one ended up in the bin.

I have made this recipe 3 times it's so simple but tastes and looks pretty darn fancy. I dust it with some brown castor sugar and this gives it a chewy sugary top that makes it a bit sweeter too.

Sticky bottom
I've just made this cake for the second time. When the cake had finally cooled and I removed the top of the springform baking tin, to my disappointment, the bottom of the baking tin was firmly attached to the cake! This did not happen the first time I cooked the cake. I had to lever it off with a knife. I know it won't change the delicious flavour and excellent texture, but it now resembles an up-side-down cake. What did I do wrong?

Awesome recipe!
Loved the recipe and the cake! Amazing! Read all the reviews and did a couple of things differently - 1)boiled the oranges with 2 tsp of castor sugar and did not drain but dried up all the water...2) used only 3/4 of the batter in the cake tin as it did look like a lot , put the remaining in cup cake moulds - turned out absolutely divine! Will definitely be making this cake soon...

Quick version adaptable for diabetes
Microwave the oranges, lanced to prevent explosions, in a covered glass bowl, for 20 minutes, then cool in fridge, until cool enough to touch, Remove the pits after cutting the fruit roughly, then blend in bursts. Then add in half the castor sugar, or Splenda in equal volumes to that given for castor sugar. Empty the puree into a mixing bowl, and then put the eggs with the rest of the sugar into the blender for a quick burst. 3 loaves from triple quantities. Freeze in bags for emergencies.

Try this!!
I have made alot of orange recipes with whole oranges and the best advice I can give is to try this. After cooking and cooling down the oranges, open them up and remove the pips. This tends to give the bitter taste. I also reccommend adding a little more almond meal to recipe.

Very bitter
I made this cake yesterday. It looked lovely, evenly risen and browned. However, it tasted like marmalade and after a few slices, I threw the rest of it out. I used 2 Navel oranges and it was very bitter and I couldn't taste the almonds at all. I felt it was disappointing as it was not a cheap cake to make. Any advice on where I went wrong?

Sounds better than it tastes
After salivating through that episode my wife & I had to give the Orange & Almond cake a whirl. My wife can cook cakes and we always have one sitting under glass on the kitchen bench. The O&A cake is still sitting there because 1 slice is more than enough. So moist you could eat it through a straw, it has a most un-cake like texture. In fact un-food like. Definitely a different taste sensation, but not a sensational taste. I'm now googling a proper orange & almond cake recipe to replace this one

I was about to make a cake with similar ingredients for a special Melbourne Cup luncheon when I realised a food processor was required which I no longer owned. This receipe saved the day using my blender. The cake was a great success and I'm sure my mother in law was looking over my shoulder telling me I should be using a good Jewish receipe.

you can microwave the oranges. Quarter 2 oranges and place them in a microwave safe dish. Cover with a lid and cook on high 100% power for 4-6 minutes or until soft. Have made it this way for years.

I think my husband will love it :D I also added a little shredded coconut and used hazelnut meal instead of almond, and topped the cake with silvered almonds before baking. I never follow recipes to the letter for some reason :-P :-)

The best thing is everyone likes it from my 1 and 2 year neice and nephew to my husband who can't stand almonds!!! I am taking the baby versions around to my friend tomorrow as she is having lots of kids coming... the portions will be fairer!!! Yum!

orange and almond cake
Problems encountered: cooked at 160 degrees, fan forced for 1hr 10mins. Although cake was ready at 1hr. Oven had been preheating for 15mins prior although you'd only need it to preheat for 5. Despite 2 layers of baking paper around the sides (with tall sides) and bottom, cake still browned in those areas. To prevent further browing i light covered the top with aluminium foil. I checked on cake at 20mins & 30mins.Next time i would lower the temperature to 150, check after 15mins, bake til ready.

orange and almond cake
I think the oranges used make a difference. The sweeter the better, and also means less sugar used. I used 3 smallish oranges. I whipped egg yolks & sugar together to pale, creamy yellow colour. I whipped whites separately to soft white peaks. I added oranges to yolk/sugar mix, drop of almond essence and almond meal. Mixed that all up. Then folded egg whites into mix as last step. After pouring batter into the tin, i put on flaked almonds.

orange and almond cake
I pretty much made this cake over two nights. First night boiled the oranges for 2hrs and let them cool overnight. Definitely makes cutting it up easy when it's cold and very easy to handle. I removed all the pith (white bits under the skin which make it bitter). Then the following night, i made the cake (and let it cool and set overnight). I reduced the amount of sugar to 200g (i used one cup of caster sugar). I also used what were labelled as "sweet navel oranges" from my grocer.

Impressive!
What a gorgeous cake! I baked for 1h15 in a fan-forced oven at 160-170 and it came out perfect. I did line the tin with baking paper. The top cracked a bit, so I turned it upside down to cool on a wire rack. I turned it again 3 hours later and it looked perfect, just like the video! I served with a simple spiced orange syrup (simmer the juice of one orange, 1/2 cup sugar and a cinnamon stick for 5-10 min and let cool for 10 min) and topped with a dollop of creme fraiche and chopped pistachio.

Recipe is Claudia Roden's
This recipe is pinched from Claudia Roden without attribution (her Middle Eastern Food out over 20 years ago, and more recently in her Book of Jewish Food) , plagiarism is a bit rude. It is wonderfully delciious though, and always works.

'My' signature dish!
Since baking this cake last year for a friend's Moroccan themed birthday I have had so many requests and made it for many other occasions. Every time I make it it turns out perfectly and people rave about it! Currently making it for a going away party at work tomorrow - they've all heard me boasting about it and want to try it. Hands down one of the simplest yet most impressive desserts I've ever made. Thank you!!!

Added flaked almonds on top for extra texture. Also didn't have a blender so I pushed the oranges through a sieve to blend, figuring that's how they did it back in the days before blenders anyway - was a bit apprehensive about this but the cake turned out wonderfully! Thumbs up.

For a softer, fluffier version.......
I only eat gluten free, and have made this cake with many different fruits and nut meals, but mandarin and almond is the favourite. Use 3 mandarins. For a really fluffy, high rise, soft cake, seperate the yolks from the whites. Add the egg yolks with the sugar and whip the whites until soft peaks form. Fold the fluffy egg whites into the mixture with metal spoon as the last step after adding the almond meal. Serve with citrus cheescake yoghurt on the side..... YUM!!!!

Low cal version and some tweaks
On a friend's advice, I boiled oranges for 2.5 hours a few days before. On the day, I substituted Splenda for sugar. I used 60g of Splenda instead of the 120G of caster sugar. I also added a teaspoon of almond essence. I think I'd add only 3/4 of a tsp. This would be lovely with dark chocolate shavings, raspberry coulis or, as I served it, with a dollop of low fat, low cal French Vanilla yoghurt. Beautiful recipe and will definitely make again. Not for kids. Serve with w/ white port.

Burnt
I highly recommend that you line your tin before baking. In the written recipe it says to grease your tin then sprinkle with sugar, but in the video she lines her tin. I followed the written recipe twice and my cake both times turned out very brown, almost burnt. The second time i made it i did not sprinkle the tin with sugar, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Definitely line your tin instead.

So Simple, No fuss
This recipe is briliant. Quick and easy, Beats the cafe strip cakes. Watching the video really helps. The first time I made it I skewered the cake and put it on the rack to cool and noticed it weaping in the middle not cooked, it had been out of the oven 10 mins so threw it back in, pulled it out, not happy, back in cracked thru the middle but didnt come out till I was happy with it. Face down and dusted with icing sugar, no one guessed something was wrong and the taste was beautiful.

Orange & Almond cake. WOW!
If you love the flavours of orange & almond you are going to rave over this one. There is no flour or butter in this making it a healthy dessert. I love the flavour of almond , so I always add a t/spoon of almond essence to the mix. Comments I get when I serve this up to guests Is" WOW! that is amazing", and I agree, it really is. This is definately 10/10

Orange and Almond Cake
This cake is so good; I am sorry that so many people find it difficult to make. I think it is best to follow the recipe because, after cooling and cutting the oranges in half on a plate so that you do not lose the juice, you only have to remove the pips and put the oranges in the food processor for a minute and then add all the other ingredients. I use a loaf tin and greased paper liner. In my fan assisted oven I keep a careful watch that it doesn't get too well-done, using a skewer to test.

use manderins instead of oranges
This is a great cake and I have made it many times. It is much better if you replace the oranges with manderins

There is an easier way to make this cake
If you don't want to boil the oranges for 2 hours. Wash and put in a zip lock freezer bag. Cook on high in Microwave for 10 minutes. Let cool and then blend in the food processor. Take out and then blend eggs, sugar, baking powder and almonds, add blended oranges last and then pour into cake tin to cook. It should only need one hour in a 180 C. I have made this cake around 100 times and never had a flop. However i have never blended the oranges in with the sugar and eggs . YUK.

Orange Cake
Hi there, This recipe is absolutely fantastic. I've never seen a cake recipe with so few ingredients, not to mention without flour. Like others, I am also modifying it to suit my oven baking time. I have SBS to blame for my husband's constant nagging about when I'm going to make the cake again. Not a week goes by without having made one. I think it will become a staple desert in the future.

Baking cakes is not my forte, but this one is simple. The best desert ever! I reduce the temperature to 170-180, and bake for 1 hour. The fragrance from boiling the oranges (I used naval) and the cake is delicious! Highly recommended!

I loved the ease, organic oranges from the garden, fresh eggs from the girls down the street and organic almond meal from the local organika shop. Family gave it the top rating. I'm onto my second cake now, I added thinly sliced orange peel that had been candied as a topping after I had sprinkled the icing sugar to top it off.

This is the best cake that I have ever made! I reduced the sugar to 150g and added 100g whole meal self raising flour. The cake came nice and soft and adequate sugar level. I will recommend this for anyone.

Light, Soft, Fluffy and Very Moist Cake!
I've blogged about the cake: http://carine-olivia.com/blog/index.php/2009/06/flourless-orange-and-almond-cake/ The cake wasn't bitter at all. In fact, I even reduced the amount of sugar. I used three quarter cups only. I also used 3 oranges instead of two, and removed the pith to reduce more bitterness. I loved this cake and so did the people who tried it. It's very moist and light. I prefer to eat it when it's warm!

great for nonna and baby
I've made this 2-3 times now and recommended to many. We bake at 165degrees for 1 hour. We use 3 oranges and we cut the base and remove the pith after boiling. Also the high paper collar is pretty important for controlling browning. Beautiful cake - never fails. Good for gluten intolerant and popular with the babies at our playgroup too.

Please give more accurate description
I am going to try to bake this cake. I noticed that your written description is different from the video. Your written description mentioned to ' Grease a 20 cm spring form baking pan with margarine (or vegetable oil spray) and dust with caster sugar' but on your video I noticed you have lined both the sides and bottom with baking paper. Would appreciate is you could give a more accurate written recipe. It would have make a different between a success or a failure with this recipe.

dissapointed
it does look like an easy cake to make but I was dissapointed with the taste, abit bitter, also getting the oven temp. correct was a struggle, the recipe doesnt specify what the oven temp should be if your using fan-forced, and also do you continue on 190 deg for the whole 2 and half hours? i will try again this eve to make the cake, oranges are cooling as we speak....fingers crossed.xx p.s i mite add some vanilla bean paste and some sugar , let u know how i go...

Orange almond cake
Reading through the comments I don't think anyone actually managed to get their cake to look like the one in the video. Mine, too, was dense and moist and the bitterness took some getting used to. I would make it again, but perhaps substitute some rice flour for the almonds to lighten it a bit, but still keep it gluten free.

The perfect cake.
This cake is absolutely sublime. I'm playing around with the recipe to refine it to my taste and to determine accurate cooking time in my oven. Tastes amazing served with vanilla yoghurt and flaked almonds on the side. I love the slight bitterness, as to me, it offsets the large amount of sugar used in the recipe. This is my favourite cake of the moment :) (PS: tried to give this 5 stars but the star rating wouldn't function properly, so 3 is all it would allow me to give)

Taking the pith
In answer to the negative comment regarding the bitterness, I've been making this cake for a few years and to guard against bitterness , after boiling the then cooling the oranges, I scrape away the pith (the white stuff between the rind and the flesh) . No bitterness! Hope this helps.

sorely dissapointed
Well, after the raving reviews- and being enticed with how EASY this cake is to make. I dearly say i was a tad disappointed to say the least! The orange was extremely bitter throughout the cake and could have been a little sweeter to balance it...Might be better off trying it without the orange rind? though i can't say I'd be trying it again- as we were all so looking forward to it on Easter and were all left feeling very short changed!! boo hoo

Cake was like a dessert
I made this cake and while it was very delicious with the orange flavour, I found it to be more like a dessert in texture, rather than a cake, as it is flourless. I am going to try it again adding some self raising flour, so I'll let you know how I go!. Also, this cake drops, that is quite normal. It puffs up and rises, then deflates again. I'd say it does this because there is no flour in it, my experiment will soon let me know.

the decadent version
I make a bigger, more decadent version with 400g of almond meal and 8 eggs and big navel oranges. I also thinly slice a 3rd orange and simmer it in a strong syrup until it reduces by half. I then put the slices on a piece of baking paper to cool and firm for decoration, then I pour the syrup, mixed with a little cointreau over the cake. With whipped cream, it's to die for.

Orange cake
I have been making this beautiful cake for years in Australia, after discovering it in an old Claudia Rodin cookbook. The sweetness of the cake always depends on the sweetness of the oranges used and I often vary the amounts of sugar in the cake, depending on the oranges available. I also simmer a quarter of a jar of apricot jam and a squeeze of lemon juice to a syrup consistency and pour over the top of the cake for a fabulous glaze.

Two Thumbs Up for this Orange and Almond Cake
Thanks for the recipe. I love this cake and can bake it again and again without getting bored of eating it! It came out perfect the second time as I added 2 tablespoons of sugar into the mix for a sweeter taste and brushed some butter onto the baking tin before pouring in the mix. Good quality oranges help to bring out the fruity/citrus flavour. It is so moist and yummy and I can't wait to bake it again this week!

Orange & Almond Cake
This cake is just supurb!! I also lined my tin but cooked it for 1 hour at 180 (no fan) and then turned it up to 190 with the fan on for 30 mins. It turned a beautiful golden brown and the inside was nice and moist. To make it slightly sweeter, make sure you really dust the tin and top of cake with castor sugar before baking. Also a large sprinkling of icing sugar as soon as it is out of the oven gives it a nice sweet taste. I will also give this a go with lemons.

Orange and Almond Cake
I made the cake in the blender, so all the pips were blended in with everything else. The cake was slightly bitter and for my sweet tooth, i thought it needed a bit more sugar/syrup, but my partner absolutely loved it. I cooked it for 2hrs, 170 fan forced, the top was brown and the inside slightly undercooked. On standing it was just perfect. Very delicious and moist cake, but it looked nothing like the cake in the video. I think a larger cake tin would be better, maybe 21/22cm.

Orange Almond Cake
I made this cake a few days ago and the mixture seemed almost double as almost came to the very top of my 20cm pan. I am about to retry it using half of the mixture. It rose over the pan but did not flop and looked like a souffle. It was too dark on the outside and way too wet on the inside also but tasted great. I had to cut the outside off it and the top to keep cooking it, cooked it for around two hours and still too wet.

Having trouble getting correct cooking time for this cake. Cooked for 1 hr 10 at 185 degrees (thought 190 might be reason why others said it got too brown), fan forced oven, outside was very brown verging on burnt and inside still bit too moist. Took pips out so not bitter like other people have commented. Can anyone who's had sucess with this tell me what I can change to get this right before I have another attempt? Your help will be much appreciated.

My partner baked this yesterday, and it was delicious! The smell of oranges cooking filled the house all day. The only quibble we had was, like Karin from Hornsby, that the cooking time didn't quite work as planned- the final product was a little too brown outside, and a little undercooked inside. Definitely looking forward to trying it again so we can tweak the cooking time and get it 100% perfect!

no pips
I use navel oranges which does not have pips and I pick out the bit of the stem on the outside of the orange. You can also use lemons for this cake. If you do use lemons, use 3 lemons and you'll need to pick out all of the pips. Yes the cake is a bit bitter, especially if you do not wash the outside of the fruit thoroughly. Use a small round springform pan to get good height, otherwise you end up with a very shallow looking cake.

Great recipe - maybe too moist!?!?!
Just made this this morning and it was yum - I only cooked it for an hour (180 Fan Forced) and it was VERY brown on top (skewer came out clean). I found it was really moist (maybe too moist?). But still delicious. There's a similar recipe on the Aust Women's Weekly archives (http://aww.ninemsn.com.au/ARTICLE.aspx?id=262282) which mentions trimming the ends off the boiled oranges, and discarding any pips. That recipe adds some plain flour, so might add that next time.
