Ingredients:

Sponge bundt cake:
4 large eggs
220g white sugar
150g flour
100g melted unsalted butter
100g whole raw almonds

Orange topping:
3 oranges
200g white sugar
100g water

Directions:

1. Let’s start with the orange topping: pour water and sugar in a large pan, stir until the sugar is completely melted.
2. As soon as the sugar starts thickening, add the orange slices and let them boil for at least 15 minutes, then put them aside.
3. Preheat the oven at 200°C, grease the donut pan and then line it with baking paper.
4. To make the cake sponge base, combine sugar and eggs in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer for at least 15 minutes. Then add the melted butter and the sifted flour making a circular movement from the bottom upwards with a spatula.
5. Coarsely crush your almonds using a food processor or put them in a plastic bag and hit it with a rolling pin. Then add them to the cake batter.
6. Layer the orange slices in the donut pan, on top of the baking paper, overlapping a bit and working your way toward the outer edge (you may not need to use all the orange slices). Then then pour the batter into the donut pan.
7. Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C and bake for at least 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the cake center comes out clean.
8. Let the cake cool upside down on a wire rack until warm (not hot), then remove the baking paper and let chill.
9. Once cooled, serve the cake!
10. You can also serve it drizzled with syrup, honey or melted dark chocolate.
    

Enjoy your luscious and super soft cake! 😉
