INSTRUCTIONS

Brush a 20.5cm base measurement, spring release or a loose base cake
tin with oil then dust with flour, shaking off any excess. Grate the
zest from the orange and lemon. Mix together the Izarra and olive  oil.
Roughly chop the pinenuts. Set an electric whisk to its fastest  speed
and whisk together the eggs and the sugar for about 6 minutes  or until
pale and thick. Set the whisk to its lowest speed. Add the  orange and
lemon zest and the sieved flour and whisk until just  combined. Using a
spatula or large metal spoon gently fold in the  Izarra and the oil.
Pour into a prepared tin, bake at Gas mark 2 /  150Â°c / 300Â°f for 20
minutes. Remove from the oven and quickly  sprinkle with pinenuts,
pushing them gently into the top. Dust with  the icing sugar and return
to the oven for another 10 minutes or  until a skewer inserted into the
centre of the cake comes out clean.  Allow the torte to cool for 10
minutes and then flash under a hot  grill for 1 minutes or until the
sugar begins to caramelise and the  nuts turn golden brown. Remove the
base and serve warm or cold with  cream and lemon sauce. To make the
Lemon Sauce , place all the  ingredients in a heavy-bottomed pan , then
heat gently stirring all  the time until smooth and well blended.
Garnish with fresh mint  leaves.  Converted by MC_Buster.  NOTES :
