Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup orange juice (or good quality orange soda)
4 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup orange juice (or good quality orange soda)
4 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
Where to find ingredients
All-purpose flour, granulated sugar, eggs, baking powder, and orange juice can be found in the baking aisle or produce section of most supermarkets. If using orange soda, check the beverage aisle. For a more intense orange flavor, use freshly squeezed juice from ripe oranges, typically found in the produce section. If fresh oranges are unavailable, bottled orange juice is a suitable alternative.
Preparation method
- Start by beating the egg whites until stiff peaks form
- then add the egg yolks and sugar, beating well until a homogeneous mixture is obtained
- Incorporate the flour and orange juice into the batter, mixing gently
- Finally, add the baking powder and mix just to incorporate
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 40 minutes, or until golden brown and firm
Observations
This recipe is very practical and uses simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. The secret to a well-aerated cake is to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks.
