Turkish Orange Cake With Fresh Tayberries Or Loganberries

Ingredients & Directions


Karen Mintzias
1 lg Orange
4 oz Almonds, ground
1/2 c Caster sugar
1 ts Baking powder
3 dr Almond extract
3 lg Eggs
2 oz Pine kernals

TO SERVE
1 lb Tayberries or loganberries
Icing sugar
2 Oranges

Put one whole orange in a small saucepan, cover with water and simmer for 2
hours. Pour away the water and leave to cool.

Preheat the oven to 180 C/350 F/Gas 4.

Grease a 23 cm/9in shallow cake tin and line with greaseproof (waxed)
paper.

Chop the cooked orange roughly, discard the pips and liquidize, including
the skin.

Mix together the ground almonds, sugar, baking powder and almond extract in
a bowl. Beat the eggs with a fork, beat in the liquidized orange, then
pour into the bowl containing the other ingredients and mix well. Pour this
mixture into the prepared tin and sprinkle the top with pine kernals. Bake
in the middle of the oven for 35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out
clean. Leave to cool slightly, then turn out on to a wire rack.

Just before serving, peel off the paper and sprinkle the top of the cake
with a little icing sugar. Serve in wedges with slices of orange and fresh
tayberries or loganberries.
