If you've been tuning into The Little Paris Kitchen on BBC Two lately, you'll know what Rachel Khoo is all about.
This gooey and berry delicious bakewell cake is astonishingly made with no butter or fat! Instead using a whole boiled orange helps to keep the cake super moist and super healthy. This recipe has been created by chef, Gizzi Erskine for Seasonal Berries.
1 orange
3 medium free-range eggs
200g fructose, Xylitol or golden caster sugar (fructose and Xylitol are natural and have a really low GI level)
55g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
200g ground almonds
300g fresh blackberries
1 handful flaked almonds
Place the orange in a saucepan (unpeeled), cover with water and bring to the boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour. Once cooked, halve the orange, remove the pips and purée in a blender, skin and all. Now preheat the oven to 170C and oil a 20cm, round spring-form cake tin and line with a disc of baking parchment. Next beat the eggs and sugar together until pale and thick. Fold in the flour, baking powder, almonds and orange purée. Finally stir in the fresh blackberries. Pour the mixture into the tin, sprinkle with the flaked almonds and bake for one hour until the top is golden. (Do keep an eye on it for the last 15 minutes as fructose sugar is slightly more likely to catch). Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then turn out on to a rack and cool completely. Sift over icing sugar and serve with a cup of tea.
