Magic LOVE cake for Christmas

My magic love cake version for your special loved ones ,or "someone :-)

2 days before go outside and gather 6 farm fresh eggs
from your feathered friends,wash them and refrigerate.
Purchase several pounds of oranges (1 lb organic if possible)
about 1/4 cup of whole cloves.

1 or 2 days before you plan to serve your cake and eat it too :-)
cover 1 lb of oranges (well scrubbed, the organic ones) with water and simmer for 2 hours

while your oranges simmer "stick" the whole cloves
into your remaining oranges in random patterns
( even better watch your grand kids or neighbor's kids so the parents can have
a few minutes of alone time for a cup of coffee together and let the kids do the clove "stuffing" honors( I have fond memories of doing this as a child, it's now our turn to help a kid make warm pleasant memories... when finished attach a ribbon then hang up above your kitchen stove or on the tree)

to the mushy cooled orange mixture add 6 eggs
1 cup of sugar ( or 2/3 cup of honey)
2 and 1/3 cup of ground almonds
1 tsp of baking powder
with a wooden tooth pick "apply" to batter
a touch each of frankincense and myrrh essential oils
(your Christmas "magic" love ingredients)

pour your very wet batter into an oiled 8" pan ( a springform pan is best)
bake at 375 for 40 min cover cake with foil (to protect top from burning)
bake approx another 20 min (use clean tooth pick test for doneness)
wrap and fridge until you are nearly ready to serve it
frost cake with stabilized whip cream (opt)

you will now have a "gift" of gold frankincense and myrrh
to remind everyone of the gifts for earths one and only true KING
whose birth we celebrate on Christmas day JESUS...He IS the reason for the season.
