Put the pipless oranges in processor and zap into pulp. In a large bowl beat the eggs till well mixed and then add the ground almonds (If you can't find commercially ground almonds, skinless almonds should be ground very fine using some of the sugar in the processor with the almonds, so that they do not get too "greasy"), sugar, baking powder and orange pulp - mix thoroughly and pour into cake tin. Bake for about an hour and toward the end check - if still pretty wet leave another 5-plus minutes and recheck. Cool in cake tin.
