Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 medium oranges, fresh whole with rind on - any type (1.4 lb total weight)
1¼ tsp baking powder
6 large eggs , at room temp
1¼ cups white sugar
2¾ cups almond flour
Directions:
Directions:
Place oranges in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Boil for 10 minutes and drain.
Repeat twice more.
Rinse oranges, then cool slightly so you can handle them. Slice into 1/4" slices then dice, removing any seeds. Cool completely.

Preheat oven to 325°F (140°C fan). Grease and line a 9" cake pan with baking/parchment paper.
Place chopped oranges in a food processor. Process on high for 4 x 10 second bursts, scraping down the sides in between, until it's pureed into a marmalade consistency with only a few visible bits of rind remaining. It does not need to be completely smooth.
Add almond meal, eggs, baking powder and sugar. Process for 5 - 10 seconds on high until combined.

Pour into prepared cake pan. Bake 60 minutes until the surface is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool fully in cake pan. Unless using loose base pan, cover surface with baking paper to help you turn it out (cake is sticky so may stick to your hand and tear surface otherwise.)
Serve: Decorate as desired - I used slices of fresh oranges, rind strips and sprigs of flowers. A dusting of icing sugar / powdered sugar is also lovely. Cut, then serve!
