I love the combination of orange and chocolate. This is a beautiful dessert for a special occasion.
Wash the oranges and boil them whole for 1 ½ hours, or until soft.
Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease and line a cake tin.
Place whole oranges (peel and all) in a thermomix or food processor and blend until smooth.
Process in eggs, coconut oil or butter, sugar or honey, almond flour, salt and baking soda until combined.
Pour batter into the cake tin and bake for 45 Minutes to 50 Minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcook as you want this to be moist.
Once ready, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin.
Meanwhile, make the ganache. Once it is ready spread over the cooled cake and top with sliced oranges. Place in the fridge to set.
Slice, serve and enjoy! You can serve with whipped cream, yoghurt, kefir, fruit or plain.

Please confirm whether the butter/coconut oil is meant to be in the cake? There is no mention of it in the method.
Hi Fiona,
The coconut oil is processed in along with the rest of the main ingredients in step 4
Is it 180 degrees if it is a fan forced oven or 160 ?
Hi Carmel, either should work fine, but we do usually use 180C fan forced.
IN the process of making this one this morning for my sons birthday cake tonight!
Along with the Thai Fish Cakes and Salad
I have made this lovely cake today…..and am about to ganache it!! However the recipe does not give any measurements for: Coconut cream; cacao melts, the honey to add to them? Thank you, measurements please.
