Ingredients
- Unsalted butter, for greasing
- 1 1/2 pounds blood oranges or navel oranges, scrubbed
- 6 large eggs
- 2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (9 ounce)
- 3 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup apricot jam, melted with 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °. Brush a 10-inch springform pan with butter. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and butter the paper.
- Put the oranges in a microwave-safe bowl; add enough water to reach halfway up the side. Cover partially with plastic wrap. Microwave on high power, turning the oranges every 3 minutes, until very soft, about 15 minutes; drain. Quarter the oranges, discarding any seeds. In a food processor, puree until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups of the orange puree. Using a spatula, fold in the coconut, almond flour and baking powder. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the cake and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly on a rack.
- In a bowl, whip the cream with the confectioners' sugar and fold in the remaining 1/4 cup of orange puree.
- Brush the melted jam over the warm cake and let cool. Unmold the cake and serve with the orange whipped cream.
