naturally fresh cod liver oil.

Recipe: Jaffa Chocolate Cake with Jaffa Icing
The cake is healthily adapted from this Flourless Orange & Chocolate Cake Recipe

This cake is very dense and rich so a small piece definitely goes a long way.

2 organic oranges
6 dates
50g butter
50g coconut oil
200g dark chocolate
four eggs
200g almond meal

blend with 6 dates. Peel the oranges (removing the rind) and blend
with the zest and dates until you get a smooth paste. Set aside.
Melt: In a double boiler, melt 50g butter and 50g coconut oil with
200g dark chocolate until all melted together.
Beat four eggs till thick, fold in almond meal (200g), date paste and
choc-butter mix into the eggs.
Pour into a lined and coconut oil greased tin.
Cook for about 115 mins at 180 (not fan forced) or until skewer comes out clean.
Leave to cool and then spread with Jaffa icing (recipe below). Note:
Icing will harden at room temp/in the fridge.

Jaffa Icing (aka Orange, Cacao, Coconut and Macadamia Butter):
See the original post here.

Ingredients:
Place a big handful of raw macadamia nuts into a food processor and
blend till smooth butter is formed. Add zest of ½ orange, add 1 T.
