Whole Orange Cake (with no added sugar)

On the Down to Earth Forums we have been chatting about Rhonda's Whole Orange Cake recipe which has been around for a while but new forum members often find the recipe and decide to give it a try so while I was thinking about it I thought I would see if I could make the cake without added sugar as I hadn't made it for a couple of years as I don't bake all that often.

Whole orange macadamia nut and ginger cake

When we were at the Caloundra markets last week I came across some Macadamia Nut and Ginger Paste made by Kalinga Farms. Having made Almond Butter recently I was interested to know if I could make the paste using the same method and the man I spoke to confirmed that that method should work. So today I shelled about a cup of macadamia nuts and added plenty of ginger but was disappointed with the result and then had a brainwave and decided to add the paste to Rhonda's Whole Orange Cake and it turned out nicely.
