I found 4 tangerines looking sorry for themselves in my fruit bowl today so decided to embark on a simple autumnal cake, lots of warm spicy flavours offset the sweetness of the oranges and honey.
Recipe type: Cakes & Bakes
Serves: 10 slices
Ingredients
  • 2 medium sized oranges or 4 clementines/tangerines
  • 175g unrefined self-raising flour (I used wholemeal) gluten free is fine
  • 100g ground almonds
  • 3 level tsps baking powder
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp mixed spice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon185g raw honey
  • 225g organic butter softened
  • 3 free range eggs, beaten
  • 50g (handful) rasins
  • 50g (handful) chopped walnuts
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F/180C or fan assisted 350F/160C
  2. Grease a 25cm round cake tin and line the base
  3. Place the wholes oranges in a small saucepan cover with boiling water and simmer for 20 minutes.
  4. Cut the oranges into quarters, removing any pips and place into a food processor rind and all. Pulse till you have a coarse orange puree, you want to still have pieces of rind visible.
  5. Sift the flour, ground almonds, baking powder and spices into a large mixing bowl
  6. In a separate bowl whisk the softened butter, beaten eggs and raw honey together and pour into the dry ingredients
  7. Fold in lightly, careful not to beat out the air, next add the orange pulp and finally the raisins and walnuts.
  8. Combine the ingredients and pour into the prepared cake tin
  9. Bake in your preheated oven for 40-50 mins, until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
  10. Allow to cool on a cooling rack
  11. Serve in generous slices warm or room temperature.
