1/2 tsp cinnamon,

1 tsp Baking Powder,

1 tsp Baking Soda,

3 small whole oranges,

3/4 cup honey,

4 large eggs

Method

Grease a 9 inch springform pan and preheat your oven to 180C.

Wash and boil your whole oranges for about 1/2 an hour until super soft.

Transfer the soft oranges into a food processor and process until well blended.

Add eggs, honey, ground macadamia nuts, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamon and cinnamon and pulse till combined.

Because of the honey the surface of the cake will cook quite dark.
