- Fold the wheat flour and orange juice into the batter, mixing gently
- Finish by adding the baking powder and mixing only until incorporated

This recipe is very practical and uses simple ingredients you probably already have in the pantry. The secret to a well-aerated cake is to beat the egg whites properly until stiff.
