Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 medium oranges (unpeeled, washed)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups ground pistachios

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oranges: Start by washing the oranges thoroughly, then blend them whole, including the peel, until you get a smooth orange puree.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the orange puree with eggs, sugar, and ground pistachios. Stir well until the mixture is uniform.
  3. Bake Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined cake pan. Bake in the oven for about 40-50 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan before removing. Serve at room temperature, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or garnished with extra pistachios.

Notes

  • Use organic oranges if possible, since the peel is blended into the batter.
  • If you don’t have ground pistachios, finely chop them or substitute with ground almonds as a variation.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • This cake is naturally gluten-free and works well as a light dessert or snack.
