Ингредиенты

Eggs (category C0) - 5 pcs.

Refined vegetable oil (originally olive) - 200 ml

Orange - 300 g (1 pc.)

Sugar - 240 g

Flour - 250 g (2 cups with a capacity of 200 ml)

Baking powder - 2 tsp

Salt - 1 tsp (incomplete)

Icing sugar (for decoration, optional) - to taste

Рецепт

1. We took two types of vegetable oil: sunflower - 170 ml and olive - 30 ml (so that the cake has a weak olive flavor). The eggs should be at room temperature. Wash the orange thoroughly. Turn on the oven to heat up to 180 ℃.

2. Combine the eggs and sugar in a large bowl, mix.

3. Remove the zest from the orange using a fine grater (2 teaspoons). Squeeze the juice from the orange (70 ml).

4. Add the zest and juice of the orange to the egg mixture. Pour in the vegetable oil (two types). Mix again.

5. In a separate bowl, combine the flour with baking powder and salt. Mix.

6. Sift the flour mixture into the egg-orange mixture in portions, mix.

7. The dough is quite liquid.

8. Pour the dough into the mold (we have a deep silicone cake mold with a diameter of 21 cm, the diameter of the hole is 6 cm). Place in the oven preheated to 180 ℃, bake the cake for 40-45 minutes. Check the readiness with a wooden skewer, it should remain clean and dry.

9. Cool the baked orange cake for 10 minutes in the mold.

10. Then turn it over onto a wire rack and leave until completely cool.

11. If desired, decorate the cooled cake by sprinkling it with powdered sugar using a sieve.

12. Enjoy!
