Blueberry, almond and orange cake

There's only one thing as good as the flavour of this nutty orange and blueberry cake, and that's the aroma that fills the house while it's baking. Just try eating only one slice!

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 cup caster sugar

    (280g)

  • 1 cup almond meal

  • 1 cup plain flour

    (150g)

  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • ½ cup fresh orange juice

    (125ml)

  • 1 tbsp orange zest

    finely grated

  • 1 cup blueberries

  • ⅓ cup flaked almonds

Equipment

  • 1 24cm springform cake tin
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 skewer

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan-forced). Grease and line a 24cm springform cake tin.
  2. Whisk eggs and sugar for several minutes until frothy and until it has more than doubled in volume. Stir through almond meal, flour, baking powder, orange juice and zest. Pour into prepared cake tin.
  3. Scatter blueberries over the batter and top with flaked almonds.
  4. Bake for 50-55 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Notes

Tip
You’ll need about two oranges to yield this much juice and zest.
