Recipe - Whole Orange Syrup Cake

FOR THE CAKE
2 md Oranges
200 g Butter
1 cup Castor sugar4 eggs
2 cup Plain flour1 cup ground
almonds
One half cup Slivered almonds; toasted
2 teaspoon Vanilla essence
1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda
1 cup Buttermilk

FOR THE SYRUP
1 cup Sugar
One half cup Orange juice
2 tablespoon Marmalade

Preheat the oven to 180c. and butter a 24cm. nonstick, springform cake
tin.

Wash the oranges and place the oranges in a saucepan of water. Bring to the
boil and simmer gently for 1 hour. When cool, puree in a food processor
until smooth.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add eggs one at a
time, and beating well after each addition. In a separate bowl, mix the
flour, ground almonds, slivered almonds and baking soda.

Add half the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture then add half the
buttermilk, mix well. Repeat, using all the ingredients, then add the
orange puree and vanilla and mix gently.

Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake at 180c. for 60
minutes. The cake is cooked when it is golden brown and bounces back when
gently pressed in the centre.

Meanwhile, make the syrup. Heat the sugar and juice together stirring all
the time to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the marmalade and stir to dissolve. Spoon or brush the syrup over the
cake while still in the tin. Remove the cake from the tin and serve with
some clotted cream or rum raisin ice cream.
