Orange And Almond Dessert Cake

Who can tell the misery that unbelief has brought on the world? Unbelief made Eve eat the forbidden fruit – she doubted the truth of God's word: “You will surely die.” Unbelief made the old world reject Noah's warning, and so perish in their sin. Unbelief kept Israel in the wilderness – it was the barricade that kept them from entering the Promised Land. Unbelief made the Jews crucify the Lord of glory – they did not believe the voice of Moses and the prophets, even though they were read to them every day. And unbelief is the reigning sin of man’s heart down to this very hour – unbelief in God’s promises – unbelief in God's wrath and discipline – unbelief in our own sinfulness – unbelief in our own danger – unbelief in everything that runs counter to the pride and worldliness of our evil hearts.

INGREDIENTS

2		Juicy oranges, thick skinned
6		Eggs
250	g	Ground almonds, coarsely
		chopped
185	g	Caster sugar
1	T	Baking powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash oranges, place in saucepan and cover with water.  Simmer gantly
for 2 hours ir until very tender. Cool slightly, halve the oranges  and
discard pips.  Chop skin and pulp roughly the puree in a good
processor. Beat the eggs until light coloured, add remaining
ingredients and blend throughly. Pou into a buttered and floured tin  [
about 22 CM] and bake in a preheated 190 degree C oven for about 1
hour or until cake is golden and just firm to the touch. Leave in the
tin until quite cold. Serve with whipped cream. I like to either
simmer orange rind shreds in a sugar syrup and serve a small pile of
those beside the cake and decorate with candied peel, together with a
few orange segments marinated in a little syrup and sometimes with a
good dash of Grand Marnier. Pass the cream separately. NOTES  : Based
on a Spanish recipe, this dessert cake is very easily made.  It can be
made for Passover, but if so, the baking powder must be  omitted and
the eggs seperated.  The whites are whipped stifly and  folded in after
the other ingredients are mixed.
