Place the oranges in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over medium heat. Cook for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain. Return to pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 minutes (this will reduce the bitterness of the peel). Refresh under cold water. Drain. Coarsely chop oranges. Remove and discard any seeds.

Place the orange in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth.

Use an electric beater to whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl until thick and pale. Add the oranges, melted butter, almond meal, flour and baking powder and gently fold until just combined. Pour into prepared silicon baking tin.

Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool. Remove from the tin and allow to cool completely.
