  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add 2 large oranges (or equivalent weight of lemons/limes), cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
  2. Strain the water from the oranges.
  3. Allow the oranges to cool completely (or partially cool if short on time).
  4. While the oranges cool, in a food processor, cream together 200g granulated sugar and 4 large eggs until the sugar is fully dissolved. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
  5. Cut the cooled oranges in half, remove the seeds, and process in a food processor until relatively smooth.
  6. Add the orange pulp to the sugar/egg mixture. Stir in 200g almond flour.
  7. Gently mix all ingredients until just combined.
  8. Line a 24-26cm springform pan with baking paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  9. Bake at 185°C (365°F) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing and serving.
  11. Serve with crème fraîche, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream. A drizzle of citrus liqueur (optional) adds an extra touch of elegance.
  12. No syrup needed! This cake is naturally moist and delicious.
