A Slice of Sunshine: Dreamy Orange Cake

Method

• Start with the orange:
• Pop your whole orange into a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil and boil rapidly for 10 minutes. Then drain, refill with fresh water and repeat this step two more times. It’s worth it - we promise! Once done, drain and let the orange cool.
• Preheat your oven to 160°C and line a 20cm cake tin with baking paper.
• Blend the cooled orange (skin and all) in a food processor until pulpy. Add honey and blitz again until smooth. Then blend in the eggs and vanilla.
• In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and baking soda. Pour in your wet mix and gently fold together until just combined.
• Pour into your prepared tin and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
