We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 160 degrees C.

  • Step 2: Grease and line a 23cm spring form cake pan.

  • Step 3: Cut the top and bottom from each orange and discard.

  • Step 4: Roughly chop the whole oranges and place into a food processor and blend into a coarse puree or you can also use a stick blender for this and then add in the olive oil and vanilla and process to combine.

  • Step 5: Mix together the flour, baking powder, bi-carb, coconut, cardamom and sea salt in a bowl until combined.

  • Step 6: Use electric beaters to beat the eggs and sugar together in a separate bowl for 3-4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.

  • Step 7: Use a large metal spoon to mix the orange mixture into the flour mixture and gently fold through the fluffy eggs and white chocolate until just combined and be careful not to over mix or the cake will be dense.

  • Step 8: Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 1 hour, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean and allow to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

  • Step 9: Dust liberally with icing sugar and serve with Double cream.
