Orange and almond muffins

This week my friend Rachel is having a special birthday. In honour of that, I made some mini birthday cakes ...

3 oranges
170 g sugar
6 eggs
250 g ground almonds

Cover the (whole) oranges with water and boil for one hour. When cooked, cut up the oranges and remove any seeds and excess pith. Purée oranges. Beat the sugar and eggs together. Add the oranges and almonds to the egg mixture and fold together. Pour into muffin moulds and bake for about forty minutes in a 180 degree C oven.

Happy Birthday Rachel
