Whole Orange And Almond Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    5 None large navel oranges
    1 cup granulated sugar
    5 None large eggs, at room temperature
    2 1/2 cups ground almonds
    1 tsp baking powder
    2 tbsp orange marmalade, warmed
    None None custard and raspberries, to serve
Preparation
    Place 2 oranges in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water then bring to a boil. Drain. Re-cover with cold water and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Drain and set aside to cool. Cut boiled oranges into quarters, removing and discarding seeds. Place in a food processor and process until smooth.
    Preheat oven to 325\u00b0F. Grease and line an 8 inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
    Using a sharp knife, carefully remove pith and zest from remaining oranges, maintaining their shape. Cut into 2 inch-thick slices. Arrange in base of prepared pan.
    Whip sugar and eggs in a large bowl until thick. Fold in orange mixture until combined. Add ground almonds and baking powder. Spoon over orange slices and smooth surface. Bake for 50-55 mins, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven. Let stand in pan for 15 mins then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
    Once cool, brush top with marmalade. Serve with custard and raspberries.
