      Preparation<\/h2>\n
      1<\/span><\/p>\n

      Break the eggs into a fairly large bowl. Pour the sugar into the bowl and start beating with the electric whisk at high speed for 6-7 minutes. <\/p>\n\n

      2<\/span><\/p>\n

      Whip the mixture until it is light and fluffy. At that point you can add the seed oil, pouring it all at once and then continuing to whip the mixture for another two minutes. <\/p>\n\n

      3<\/span><\/p>\n

      Turn off the electric beaters and carefully rinse and dry an organic orange. Grate the orange peel with a narrow-hole grater, being careful not to grate the white part as well, which would be bitter. Add the grated peel to the mixture. <\/p>\n\n

      4<\/span><\/p>\n

      With a juicer, obtain 100 ml of juice from two oranges. If the oranges you are using are not very juicy, you may need three. Pour the orange juice into the mixture. Sift the 00 flour together with the baking powder and add everything to the mixture, then mix with an electric mixer at low speed for 2 minutes. <\/p>\n\n

      5<\/span><\/p>\n

      Lightly oil a 22cm diameter tin using a pastry brush. If you use a silicone mold it will not be necessary to oil it. Pour the mixture and lightly tap the pan on a surface to level the mixture. <\/p>\n\n

      6<\/span><\/p>\n

      Bake in a preheated static oven at 180\u00b0C for 35 minutes. Carry out the toothpick test: insert a long toothpick or spaghetti in the center of the cake and then remove it, checking if it stays dry. If the toothpick is too wet, bake the cake for another 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      7<\/span><\/p>\n

      Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool completely before unmoulding it and placing it on a serving plate or tray. Dust with icing sugar before serving. <\/p>\n\n

      Advice and tips<\/strong><\/p>\n

      If you use a variety of orange with a sweet taste you can reduce the sugar to 80 grams<\/strong>, thus obtaining a much lighter dessert. You can replace the sugar with stevia.<\/p>\n

      You can add to the dough 30 grams of bitter cocoa<\/strong>, to be sifted together with the flour, so as to have an orange and cocoa cake. Alternatively you can add coarse pieces of dark chocolate.<\/p>\n

      You can enrich the dough with candied orange cubes or add a spoonful of orange liqueur<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      You can add, if you like, dried fruit such as peeled almonds or walnuts.<\/p>\n

      You can use the mold you prefer: try using a square or rectangular mold to serve single-portion squares<\/strong> of orange cake!<\/p>\n
