   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.
