Ingredients
 

  • 2 oranges
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon heaping baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups finely ground hazelnuts (or store bought hazelnut meal (can substitute almond meal as well))
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch salt
  • Powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  • Place the oranges in a medium sauce pan and cover with water. Bring the pot to a boil then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until oranges are soft, about 2 hours.
  • Once the oranges are cool enough to handle, slice them in half and remove any large seeds.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the oranges in a blender and pulse until smooth. You should end up with about 1 1/2 cups of puree. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the powdered sugar, to the blender. Pulse a few times, stir, and then pulse, repeating until the mixture is well combined.
  • Grease an 8 inch round spring form pan. Pour the cake batter into the pan and bake for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool, then sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Or frost with your favorite frosting.

Notes

  • The hazelnut meal can be substituted with almond meal.
