Ingredients
- 2 oranges, diced (including skins), pips removed
- 115g/4oz margarine, plus extra for greasing
- 115g/4oz sugar
- 2 medium free-range eggs, beaten
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 175g/6oz semolina
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease a deep 20cm/8in tin with margarine.
-
Purée the diced oranges in a food processor, and set aside.
-
Cream the margarine and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs and then add the baking powder and semolina. Stir to combine, then fold the orange pulp through the mixture.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, and put into the oven. After the first 10 minutes, turn the oven temperature down to 170C/325F/Gas 3 and bake for a further 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden-brown on top and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven, and allow to cool in the tin. Once cool, run a knife around the edge of the tin to release the cake, and then turn out. To serve, cut the cake into 12 slices.
