NO FUSS WHOLE CITRUS FRUIT CAKE.
You can use a lemon, lime, orange, mandarin or tangarine.
I used key limes as I have a key lime tree growing in my back garden.
The fruit should weigh 200gm, including the rind.
Ingredients......Citrus fruit weighing 200gm, 175 gm of butter/ margarine at room temperature, 3 eggs lightly beaten, 1 cup of castor sugar, 2 cups of self raising flour.
You can also replace the self raising flour with 250gm of almond meal and 1 and 1/2 tsp of baking powder.
Okay, let's get started.
Preheat your oven to 180 deg C.
Grease and line a 22cm round or square cake pan.
Wash the citrus fruit you are using and cut into wedges, removing any pips.
The unpeeled wedges should weigh 200gm.
Place the unpeeled wedges into your processor.
Process until finely chopped.
Add the butter, eggs, sugar, flour and process until well combined.
Spread the mixture in the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes or until tested with a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Leave the cake stand in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Moist, full of flavour and delicious!!
