2 whole ORGANIC oranges
2 and 1/4 cups ground almonds
1 cup coconut sugar
4 free range eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup roughly chopped good quality dark chocolate
Place whole oranges in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to the boil and continue the boil for 1 hour.
Drain. Let cool (apparently patience is virtous)
Preheat oven to 160 C
Cut oranges in half and place in a food processor (skin, pith, flesh errythang) with ground almonds, coconut sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and baking soda then process until smooth.
Turn the food processor off, unless you want to die and using a spoon, gently mix in the cranberries and chocolate (leaving a handful behind for topping)
Pour batter into a baking-paper lined cake tin, top with remaining cranberries and chocolate and bake for 40-50 minutes or until a fork comes out clean when inserted.
Let cool completely before removing from tin.
Note: using organic oranges is vital here seeing as you’re going to be eating the whole thang. Also, the thinner the orange skin, the sweeter.
Enjoy! Let me know how it goes and don’t forget to tag me in your creations xx

This sounds great but I’m wondering about the coconut sugar. Does it impart a distinctive flavor or why is it recommended?

Because it’s not white sugar basically :) And not runny like honey or maple syrup.. you can use good quality brown sugar if you prefer. Coconut sugar doesn’t have a strong flavour for me that’s why I prefer it and yeah maybe it goes well with everything else.. orange..coconut..chocolate..cranberry! Sounds like a muesli bar hehe
