Nigella's Chocolate Orange Cake:

Haven't made this yet.... Rebecca from college recommended it.

INGREDIENTS
1 large or 2 small, thin-skinned oranges
6 eggs
1 heaped tsp baking powder
50g cocoa
200g ground almonds
250g caster sugar
50g cocoa
Half tsp bicarbonate of soda

METHOD
Put the whole orange in a pan with cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 2 hours, or until soft. Drain. When cool, halve the orange and remove big pips. Pulp everything in a food processor. Preheat oven to gas mark 4 (180c).
Add the eggs, baking powder, sugar, bicarbonate, almonds and cocoa to the orange in the processor. Run until you have a cohesive cake mixture.
Alternatively, chop the fruit finely by hand and add the eggs one by one, alternating with spoons of almonds and cocoa, then the oranges.
Pour and scrape into a buttered, 20cm springform cake tin and bake for 1 hour.
