WHOLE ORANGE CAKE

This recipe is from one of my Wednesday morning gardening group, Lou. I made this for KGI day.

Place into a large bowl and fold together:
2 oranges - blended to a paste
5 eggs and 1 cup sugar - beaten until thick
1 cup coarsely ground almonds
1 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup rice flour

Pour into a greased and lined 23cm tin

Bake 45mins at 180, even if it looks done before.

Meanwhile make syrup:
Boil together for 3 minutes 1/2 cup sugar and the rind and juice of 2 oranges

When cool enough to handle remove from tin and place onto serving dish. Prick all over and pour over warm syrup.

Serve with lashing of yoghurt.

Good gluten free cake. It had a great orange flavour.I dont use much sugar in cooking so shall try it with 1/3 cup of sugar in the cake and a bit more ground almonds. Thanks for this recipe.
