Baking time: 30 to 35 minutes

Yield: 8 pieces

Ingredients:

4 eggs

3/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or any type)

1 tablespoon orange zest

1/2 cup (100 ml) orange juice

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 cups all purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder (10 grams) 

Orange slices

The way:

– Prepare a 18cm cake pan by greasing it with butter and place on the bottom of the mold the orange slices.

– In a large bowl place eggs, sugar and vanilla. Whisk with hand whisk until sugar dissolves and you have a light egg mixture.

– Take only the orange part of the orange fruit before squeeze and avoid the white layer which tastes bitter. Squeeze oranges until you have a 1/2 cup of fresh orange juice.

– Add vegetable oil and orange juice to the egg mixture and keep whisking while adding them.

– Sift flour with baking powder, add a half amount of flour mixture to the egg mixtures and mix until mostly combined, then add the remaining amount with orange zest. Mix until all well combined and a smooth batter forms. 

– With a rubber spatula, give the batter one good, final stir to make sure that everything is well incorporated. Pour the batter to the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

– Bake in preheated oven 180°C /370°F for 30 minutes or until inserted wooden skewer at the middle of the cake and comes out clean.

– When out of oven flip the cake upside down in a serving plate.

– Enjoy!
