Flourless Orange Pistachio (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Cake Base
01 -
200ml honey
02 -
140g finely ground pistachios
03 -
3 large eggs
04 -
2 whole oranges
05 -
½ teaspoon baking soda
06 -
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
07 -
240g almond meal
→ Orange Sauce
08 -
2 tablespoons honey
09 -
120ml fresh-squeezed orange juice
# Instructions:
01 -
Wash your oranges well, then simmer them for an hour in a pot of water over low heat.
02 -
Once softened, drain the oranges and blend until you have a smooth puree.
03 -
Set your oven to 175°C and coat a 23cm springform pan with a little grease.
04 -
Mix together the orange puree, eggs, honey, pistachios, almond meal, vanilla, and baking soda in a big bowl. Stir until there aren't any lumps.
05 -
Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for an hour. If the top looks like it's getting dark too fast, gently lay a foil sheet over it. Use a toothpick to check doneness—it should come out clean.
06 -
Heat the orange juice and honey together in a small pot. Let it boil, then lower the heat and simmer until it becomes half the amount. Take it off the heat and let it cool.
07 -
While the cake cools a little, brush the top with the sticky orange glaze. Wait until it's cool to the touch before taking it out of the pan and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
This cake is soft and packed with flavor thanks to the whole oranges that are simmered and pureed.
