It turns out this cake is even better if you use oranges AND lemons. Who'da thunk it?
Substitute one of the oranges for a couple of lemons. It gives the cake a bit of "tang"
Still pretty moist
.......and still pretty delicious

Beat the eggs, oil and the sugar until it's light and creamy, then add the pulped oranges, almond meal, flour and baking powder and mix thoroughly.
Pour it into the prepared cake tin, sprinkle a little castor sugar over the top and bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown

Let it cool a little before taking it out of the tin and it's best to let it sit for a while before you cut it.
That's it.
Enjoy!
