Ingredients

  • 3 oranges

  • 100g brown sugar

  • 400g caster sugar

  • 6 medium free range eggs

  • 250g ground almonds

  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder

  • 250g mascarpone

  • 2 tablespoons double cream

Directions

Boil 2 oranges in plenty of water for 2 hours. Reserve the cooking liquid.

Whizz the brown sugar, 200g of caster sugar and 6 eggs in a food processor. 

Cut the oranges into small pieces and whizz up with the mixture.

Add the almonds and give one last mix. 

Pour into a lined 26cm cake tin and put in the oven pre-heated to 180°C. 

Bake for around an hour, until a skewer comes out clean. 

Zest and juice the third orange and add this to the cooking water with the remaining 200g sugar, boil for 20 minutes or so until you have a syrup and then drizzle this on top sparingly (I *may* have gone slightly overboard with this!) 

Mix the cream and mascarpone and make sure you serve a great big dollop with each slice of cake.
