Preheat oven to 350~. Lightly grease a 9" springform pan
and line bottom with parchmont paper. In batches, in a food
processor, grind nuts fine, pulsing motor. In the food
processor, grind chocolate fine with 6 T sugar. In a bowl,
with an electric mixer, beat egg yolks until thick and pale
and add chocolate mixture. Add zests and beat until just
combined. In a clean bowl, with clean beaters, beat egg
whites and remaining 6 T sugar to soft peaks. Fold nuts and
egg white mixture into chocolate mixture gently but
thoroughly until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan
and bake in middle of oven for 55 minutes or until a tester
comes out clean.

Cool cake in pan on a rack and remove sides of pan. In a
bowl, gently toss orange sections with honey and let stand
10 minutes. Heat a ridged grill pan over high heat until
hot and grill oranges in batches, about 10 seconds on each
side. Serve cake with grilled oranges. This gives the cake
a Sephardic slant.
