Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease a 20cm (7cm deep) round cake pan. Line base and side with baking paper.

Step 3 of 5

Place oranges in a food processor and process until smooth. Add eggs and sugar, then process until combined. Add almond meal and baking powder, then process until combined. Pour batter into pan and bake for 1 hour 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into centre of cake comes out clean. Stand in pan to cool completely.
