Check the cake is baked by inserting a skewer in the centre. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes.

Steps:
- Put the whole oranges in a pan, cover with water and boil, covered, for 1 hr until a knife easily pierces them. If the oranges won't stay under the water, place a small saucepan lid directly on top to keep them submerged. Remove the oranges from the water and cool, then quarter and remove any seeds and obvious pith where the stalk was. Blitz the oranges to a rough purée with a hand blender or in a food processor and put in a large bowl.
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and line the base and sides of a 21cm loose-bottomed cake tin with baking parchment. Beat the cardamom, xylitol and eggs into the orange purée, then mix the ground almonds with the polenta, flour and baking powder, and fold in until well blended. Scrape the mixture into the tin, level the top and bake for 40 mins.
- After 40 minutes, scatter over the almonds, quickly return to the oven and bake 20-25 mins more until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from the tin and leave to cool. Serve sliced as a cake, or with Greek yogurt or cream as a dessert.

MOROCCAN CAKE (LE RUSSE)
Connoisseurs who taste this seductive dessert of meringue and chocolate ganache will be reminded of a French dacquoise. Yet in Morocco this unforgettable flourless, butterless cake bears the intriguing name of Le Russe, "the Russian." Look for superfine sugar in the baking section of supermarkets, or simply make it by grinding granulated sugar in a food processor. From The Scent of Orange Blossoms: Sephardic Cuisine from Morocco (Canada, UK), by Kitty Morse and Danielle Mamane.

FRIED MOROCCAN HONEY CAKES
Like little fritters with a delicious honey-orange syrup glaze. The dough reminds me a lot of Mexican churros, except for the orange flavor. Yum! Preparation time does NOT include 1 hour of standing time.

Steps:
- Whisk the eggs, orange juice and oil together in a large bowl. Add the orange zest and sugar and whisk until frothy.
- Stir in the flour and baking powder and mix with a WOODEN SPOON until smooth, but still a bit sticky. Cover and set aside for 1 hour.
- For the syrup, in a saucepan, heat water with lemon juice and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the honey and orange zest and simmer for another 5 minutes. Keep warm.
- Sprinkle some flour onto the dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Work in just enough extra flour to make a dough that doesn't stick to your hands.
- Roll it out to a 1/4 inch thickness. It will be very elastic, so just keep rolling and resting until it stops shrinking back.
- Using a 2 inch cookie cutter, cut out round shapes.
- Heat the oil in a large deep-sided frying pan to 325F or until a cube of bread dropped into the oil browns in 20 seconds. Fry the cakes 3 or 4 at a time until puffed and golden, about 1 minute on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Using tongs, dip each cake into the warm syrup long enough for it to soak inches Transfer to a serving platter. Serve warm or cold.
