This recipe has caused an orange and almond cake revolution! A classic Passover dessert that draws on the Sephardic traditions of Morocco, the Mediterranean and the Middle East, this version has seduced the tastebuds of many – even people who normally never make cakes love its simplicity. The oranges boil for two hours and are then pureed, skin, pips and all.
Ingredients
2 oranges250 g caster sugar, plus extra for dusting
6 eggs
250 g almond meal
1 tsp baking powder
icing sugar
Margarine or oil spray (for greasing the pan)

Wash the oranges and cook in boiling water for 2 hours. Drain and allow the oranges to cool before pureeing. This can be done ahead of time.Preheat the oven to 160°C. Butter a 20 cm springform cake tin and dust it with a little caster sugar. Place the eggs and 250 g of caster sugar in a mixing bowl and beat well. Stir in the orange puree followed by the almond meal and baking powder. Pour into the tin and dust the top with more caster sugar. Bake for 1–1½ hours, until the top is golden brown. Dust with icing sugar to serve.

Hot Tips
Yorkshire puddings that rise
Bring your ingredients (egg, milk and flour) to room temperature before combining. This will help the puddings to rise in the oven, as the warmth will create the steam earlier, thus creating the puff in the puddings.
