The Big O: Orange Cake

This luscious cake is gluten and dairy free and very low in sugar. It uses almond meal and coconut flour instead of flour, which makes it full of 'good' fat and fibre. 

Yet another fabulously easy recipe that makes the food processor do all the hard work.
You need:
3 large or 4 small organic oranges
6 eggs
1/4 cup organic pure maple syrup
2 cups almond meal
1 cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
6 tsp Natvia
1/2 cup fresh orange juice, if needed
Do this:
Boil the oranges until soft. Allow to cool slightly then chop into pieces and place in the food processor. Blend until smooth, then add the eggs and maple syrup and blend again. Add the almond meal, coconut flour, baking powder and Natvia and process again. (Not: the coconut flour tends to absorb a ot of liquid, so if the mixture looks too doughy, aqueeze in some extra orange juice).
Bake in a moderate oven for 45 minutes.
Serve with natural organic yoghurt or ice cream.
