Method

Step 1:

Place oranges into a pot and cover with water. Add 1 tbsp of Edna Tea. Bring to the boil, boil for 10 mins. Then drain. Repeat this x 2

Allow oranges to cool enough to touch – then roughly chop them, removing seeds, allow to cool fully


Step 2:

Preheat oven to 160 degrees, grease friond tray (alternatively this can be cooked as a large cake, just grease & line a 9inch pan)


Step 3:

Put orange pieces into a food processor, blitz and scrape the sides until pureed


Step 4:

Add baking powder, sugar, almond meal and eggs. Blitz until combined. Add a splash of the brewed Edna tea, blitz and pour into chosen cake tray


Step 5:

Bake for 60min, top should be golden and skewer should come out clean when checked.

Cool in tin.


*When removing cake be careful as the top is sticky. If you do not have a removable base, cover with baking paper before turning out
