Steps:
- Place the oranges in a medium sauce pan and cover with water. Bring the pot to a boil then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until oranges are soft, about 2 hours.
- Once the oranges are cool enough to handle, slice them in half and remove any large seeds.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the oranges in a blender and pulse until smooth. You should end up with about 1 1/2 cups of puree. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the powdered sugar, to the blender. Pulse a few times, stir, and then pulse, repeating until the mixture is well combined.
- Grease an 8 inch round spring form pan. Pour the cake batter into the pan and bake for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool, then sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Or frost with your favorite frosting.

NIGELLA LAWSON FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE ORANGE CAKE
From the chocolate cake chapter in her book 'Feast'. This is one of the best chocolate cakes I have ever made. I sometimes add the juice and zest of half a lemon to the batter.

Steps:
- Put the whole orange or oranges in a pan with some cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 2 hours or until soft.
- Drain, and when cool, cut the oranges in half and remove any big pips.
- Then pulp everything - pith, peel and all - in a food processor.
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180°C Butter and line a 20cm springform tin.
- Add the eggs, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, almonds, sugar and cocoa to the orange in the food processor. Run the motor until you have a cohesive cake mixture, but slightly knobbly with the flecks of puréed orange.
- Pour and scrape into the cake tin and bake for an hour, by which time a cake tester should come out pretty well clean. Check after 45 minutes because you may have to cover with foil to prevent the cake burning before it is cooked through, or indeed it may need a little less than an hour; it all depends on your oven.
- Leave the cake to get cool in the tin, on a cooling rack. When the cake is cold you can take it out of the tin. Decorate with strips of orange peel or coarsely grated zest if you so wish, but it is darkly beautiful in its plain, unadorned state.
ORANGE FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE FOR THE REAGAN FAMILY
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter and flour a 10-inch (25-cm) round cake pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper, then butter and flour the parchment paper. Gently melt the chocolate over a double boiler. Stir the butter into the chocolate to melt, and stir until smooth. Remove from the double boiler and whisk the sugar and orange zest into the chocolate mixture. Add the eggs and egg yolks and whisk well. Sift the cocoa powder over the chocolate mixture and whisk the batter until totally smooth. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top has formed a good crust. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto a serving platter. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with candied orange peel and vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet with 1/2-inch sides, line with parchment paper and butter the paper.
- Bring the orange juice to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan and add one cup of the sugar. Remove from the heat. Break up the chocolate and add it, stirring until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the softened butter a little at a time, stir well and set aside.
- Beat the eggs with the remaining sugar for 12 minutes, until very thick and light. Gently fold a third of the eggs into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the rest.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake until set, about 15 minutes. The surface of the cake will have dulled somewhat and have become firmer to the touch. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
- Meanwhile remove all the skin and pith from the oranges, separate the sections and toss with the liqueur. Refrigerate.
- Run a knife around the edge of the cake in the pan. Place a large flat baking sheet over the cooled cake, invert, then lift off the baking pan. Peel the parchment paper off the cake.
- To serve, preheat the oven to 150 degrees. Cut large squares of the cake and, using a wide spatula, place each on an ovenproof plate. Place in the oven to warm for about five minutes. Arrange the orange sections and a little of their syrup in a decorative pattern on the cake or around it, sift a little confectioners' sugar over the top and serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The chocolate you use will make a big difference in the taste of your cake, so be sure to use a good-quality dark chocolate. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% will give you the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough, so be sure to mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a springform pan: A springform pan will make it easy to remove the cake from the pan without breaking it.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: The cake will need to cool completely before you can serve it, so be sure to plan ahead.
