Chocolate orange cake from Feast - Food That Celebrates Life (UK) (page 274) by Nigella Lawson

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Very easy and love that it uses whole oranges. Used mostly regular cocoa powder with a smaller amount of black cocoa powder. Also used a combo of almond meal and finer almond flour. I imagine it would work with 100% of either type.

    Thank you for this note about the butter - it had me confused, glad I checked here.

    Cake has a lovely almost bitter taste with the addition of the whole boiled oranges. I decorated with Terry’s chocolate orange slices and a dusting of icing sugar. It’s worth noting that if you have an earlier edition of Feast that the recipe has an error as follows (taken from Nigella website): Nigella's Chocolate Orange Cake (from FEAST) is a flourless cake made with cooked oranges, eggs, sugar and ground almonds. Unfortunately there was an error in some early editions of the book, which included butter in the method for making the cake without a food processor. However the cake does not contain any fat apart from the natural fat in the ingredients. Therefore step 3 of the method should read "chop the fruit finely by hand, and beat with a wooden spoon the eggs one by one into the sugar". We apologize for this error and it has been corrected in subsequent editions.
