This cake is made by boiling whole oranges until they are soft, then blitzing them to a pulp, skin and all, and mixing with the other ingredients. The result is a moist and sticky sponge, the resulting flavour is like orange on steroids, and beautifully balanced by the marzipan-like flavour of ground almonds. There's also a hint of spicing in there to enhance and complement the other ingredients. We usually ice this with cream cheese icing, to cut through the rich sponge. Totally wonderful!
