Ingredients
-
1 cup (about 170g) finely chopped glace orange peel
-
1 cup (100g) walnut halves, coarsely chopped
-
200g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
-
1 cup (215g) caster sugar
-
4 eggwhites
-
300ml double cream
-
Icing sugar mixture, to dust
-
Glace orange or clementine slices, to serve
Method
-
1Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease and line the base of two 20cm (base measurement) spring-form pans with baking paper.
-
2Combine the orange peel, walnuts, chocolate and 1/4 cup (55g) sugar in a bowl.
-
3Use an electric mixer to whisk the eggwhites in a clean, dry bowl until firm peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar, a tablespoon at a time, whisking well between each addition. Continue whisking until sugar dissolves. Add the orange mixture and use a metal spoon to gently fold until just combined.
-
4Spoon mixture evenly among the prepared pans. Smooth the surface. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until dry to the touch and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside in pan to cool.
-
5Carefully turn a cake out on to a serving platter. Spoon the cream over the top of the cake. Top with the remaining cake. Dust with icing sugar and decorate with orange slices to serve.
