Ingredients

  • 1  tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2  teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2  teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
  • 2  eggs
  • 1/3  cup sugar
  • 6  ounces whole unblanched almonds
  • 1/4  cup orange juice
  • 1/4  cup orange liqueur
  • 1/2  cup thinly sliced dried fruit (papaya and/or persimmon)
  • 2  medium pears, quartered and, if desired, cored
  • 1/2  cup seedless green grapes and/or orange or grapefruit sections
  • 1/4  cup pomegranate seeds

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Grease and lightly flour an 8x11-1/2-inch round baking pan. Line the bottom of the pan with waxed paper. Grease waxed paper. Lightly flour pan; set pan aside.

4. Bake in the preheated oven about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool cake in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan. Cool thoroughly on wire rack.

5. Meanwhile, combine orange juice and orange liqueur. Soak dried fruit in the orange mixture for 30 minutes. Drain, reserving orange mixture.
