Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup orange juice (or good quality orange soda)
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup orange juice (or good quality orange soda)
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
Where to find ingredients
All-purpose flour and granulated sugar can be found in any supermarket's baking aisle. Large eggs are readily available at any grocery store. For orange juice, fresh squeezed is best, but you can also use store-bought pure orange juice. If you opt for orange soda, choose a good quality brand. Baking powder is also a standard item in most baking sections.
Preparation method
- Start by beating the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, then add the egg yolks and sugar, beating well until you get a smooth mixture
- Gently fold the flour and orange juice into the batter, mixing delicately
- Finally, add the baking powder and mix just enough to incorporate
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch
Observations
This recipe is very practical and uses simple ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. The secret to a light and airy cake is to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks.
