Hello and welcome to Todd's kitchen
I was going through some old recipes the other day and found a cake i know you will enjoy
It will be great as a treat or as a dessert after dinner
Today I'm going to show you how to cook an orange and almond cake
So for the first step
put a pot on the stove
with warm water
and put two oranges in the pot
two large oranges
If you can't find two large just use three medium
The reason why you want warm water
is because the sudden temperature
change will
make them split
Now we are going to bring this to a boil
Then once it starts to boil turn it down to a simmer for forty five minutes
It has been brought to a boil so now lower the temperature down to a medium
and let it simmer for forty five minutes
What this will do is
soften up these oranges so they are perfect for this cake
Just keep checking them ever ten to fifteen minutes
and if the water gets to low
top it up with some hot water
doesn't matter if the temperature drops a little
as long as the water doesn't dry out
I have has them simmering for forty five minutes
so take them of the heat
drain the water and let them cool for twenty minutes
Now the oranges have cooled
so now chop them into smaller pieces to place in the food processor
if you don't have a food processor
feel free to use a
blender
you could mash them up yourself but
you will never get the right consistency
you will have to mash very finely
I have cracked five eggs into a bowl
next add our sugar
then beat on high until nice and fluffy
That is the consistency you are after
its puffed and and almost doubled in volume and nice and fluffy
next add in our shredded orange
then our almond meal
if you can't find almond meal
buy a bag of almonds
about a one hundred and ten grams worth
then put them into a food processor or blender
pealed of course
and blend to a powder
next sift in
a quarter cup of self raising flour
now if you don't have self raising flour
just add a tablespoon of baking powder to plain flour.
Now fold the ingredients through
Don't use a
electric beater for this other wise
it will make it come out thick
and we want a more fluffy consistency
so fold it through until well combined
Now i have a spring form pan
I have lined the bottom with non stick baking paper
just give it a quick
grease on the inside
then pour in the mixture
Now place this into a pre heated oven at one hundred and sixty celsius
for one hour and fifteen minutes
this cake has filled the room with an outstanding orange smell, the smells delicious
just cut into this
Lets give this a taste
oh yeah
that orange and almond taste is perfect
thats an outstanding combination. It really is.
