Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized oranges (about 350 grams total)
  • 200 grams granulated sugar
  • 200 grams almond meal (finely ground almonds)
  • 100 grams shelled pistachios, finely ground
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oranges by washing them and boiling them in water for about 30 minutes until soft. Let cool.
  2. Cut the cooled oranges in half, remove seeds, and blend into a smooth puree using a food processor.
  3. In the same processor, add sugar, almond meal, ground pistachios, baking powder, and salt; blend until combined.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs until frothy and gradually incorporate the orange-nut mixture until smooth.
  5. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease or line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow cooling in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
