Orange and almond loaf

Loaves seem to have an old-fashioned feel about them, but they are lovely with a cup of tea on a chilly day and they make an excellent afternoon tea for hungry teenagers.

Ingredients

200 oranges, scrubbed

6 eggs

250 gram sugar

250 gram ground almonds

1 teaspoon baking powder

icing sugar and greek-style yoghurt, to serve

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a 24cm x 13cm loaf tin with baking paper.

2.Place the oranges in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 2 hours; drain and replace the water with fresh cold water 3 times during the 2 hours. This removes the bitterness from the peel. Cut cooked oranges in half and remove any seeds.

3.Place the eggs and sugar in a food processor and whiz until blended. Add oranges and whiz until well combined. Finally add the ground almonds and baking powder and whiz again.

4.Pour batter into prepared tin. Bake for 1½ hours or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean. Remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack.

5.Dredge with icing sugar and serve slices with Greek-style yoghurt.

This recipe can also be cooked in an 18-20cm cake tin.
