This weekend I am having a cocktail party at my house with friends to celebrate the summer and just have a get together. The cake will be the centre piece, surrounded by mostly Paleo cocktail food. The evening will be mainly Paleo, with the exception of a high dosage of alcohol.
Here is how I made this delicous Chocolate Orange Paleo cake
Ingredients:
2 oranges
6 Eggs
3/4 Cup of honey
4 Cups of ground almonds
3/4 Cup of Cocoa
Teaspoon of Cinamon
Pinch of seat salt
Method:
Steam 2 oranges in a pan for 60 minutes by adding boiling water from the kettle and keeping the heat on a medium heat. I put the timer on and we did some other things around the house while they were getting soft.
Once 60 minutes has past, discard the water in the pan and let the oranges cool for another 20 minutes.
Pre heat the oven to 175 degrees C.
Cut the oranges in to chunks and add to a food processor. Whizz up, then add the eggs and whizz some more. Add the honey and whizz for a final time.
Put the ground almonds in to a mixing bowl and add the wet ingredients. Fold everything in and then add the cocoa powder, cinamon and salt. Mix everything well, then add the ingredients to a lined cake tin and bake for 50 minutes or until cooked right through, testing with a knife pierced through and coming out clean.
The cake tastes nice warm or cool. It's versatile like that!
If you want to add a little bit of naughtiness, you can make a Gnash to cover the cake. Gnash is not Paleo as it's made from Cream and Chocolate. It's only meant for cheat days!
Melt 100g of Maya Gold Green and Blacks Chocolate (it has an orange taste to it)
Add double cream and whisk until the chocolate and cream becomes thick like icing. Use as spatular to cover the cake, then place in the fridge so that the gnash hardens slightly.
If you wanted to add more chocolate and cream, you could cut the cake through the middle and cover the outside to make it extra yummy.
Enjoy!
