Preparation method
- Start by whisking the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then add the egg yolks and sugar, beating well until the mixture is smooth and pale.
- Fold in the cake flour and orange juice, mixing gently to keep the batter light.
- Finish by adding the baking powder and mixing just enough to incorporate it into the batter.
- Pour the mixture into a greased and lightly floured cake tin.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Observations
This recipe is very practical and uses simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. The secret to a very airy cake is to be generous with the whipped egg whites.
