Where to find ingredients
In Palau, look for wheat flour, sugar, eggs, baking powder, and orange juice in supermarket baking aisles and chilled drink sections, or in general stores that stock basic baking goods. Orange soda may be used as the stated substitute when orange juice is not available.
Preparation method
- Start by beating the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, then add the yolks and sugar, beating well until the mixture is smooth
- Gently fold the wheat flour and orange juice into the batter
- Finish by adding the baking powder and mixing only until incorporated
- Pour the batter into a pan that has been greased and dusted with flour
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 40 minutes, or until golden and firm
Observations
This practical Brazilian recipe uses basic ingredients that are easy to keep in the cupboard. The key to a well-risen, airy cake is beating the egg whites properly until they hold firm peaks.
