Preheat oven to 180ºC conventional or 160ºC fan forced. Grease a deep round 20cm cake tin. Line the sides and base with baking paper.
Place orange, Chelsea Raw Caster Sugar, oil/butter, eggs, honey and lemon juice in a food processor. Process until orange is finely chopped.
Add flour and ground almonds and process until just combined.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes then turn onto a wire rack. Drizzle over syrup while still hot or serve on the side.
Serve slices of cake while warm.
Tips:
For a flavour twist, substitute half the quantity of orange juice and orange rind in the syrup topping with lemon – this will give a more tangy and zesty taste.
This zesty moist cake keeps well in the fridge, so can be made a day ahead. Great for occasions when time pressures mean it is difficult to make a ready-to-eat dessert from scratch.
