Flourless Organic Dark Chocolate + Orange Cake

This cake is so beyond delicious! Its also gluten free.When making mine I used a lined springform pan & served it with Natural Greek Yoghurt instead of cream.

Ingredients•

2 oranges [Valencia or Navel,I used Navel as the skin is softer]

200g organic dark chocolate,chopped

100g unsalted butter,chopped

8 free-range eggs

1 1/3 cups [300g] caster sugar

3 cups [300g] almond meal

Double cream,to serve [I used Greek Yoghurt instead]

Icing sugar,to serve



Step 1•
Place the oranges [whole,skin on] in a saucepan. Cover with water and a lid. Bring to the boil. Reduce to a low heat. Cook for 30 minutes. Remove the oranges and set aside to cool. Roughly chop and place in a food processor. Process until a coarse paste forms.

Step 2•
Melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring often until smooth. Set aside to cool. (Alternatively melt in a microwave-proof bowl in the microwave on Medium/50% power, stirring every 30 seconds, for 2 minutes.)

Step 3•
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 22cm cake pan with non-stick baking paper. Use an electric beater to beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until well combined.

Step 4•
Fold in the almond meal, orange paste and chocolate mixture until well combined. Pour into the cake pan. Bake for 1 hour 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan. Dust with icing sugar and serve with cream.
