Ingredients
To create this heavenly confection, you’ll need:
3 oranges
3 tablespoons white granulated sugar
Zest of one lemon
1/4 cup vegetable oil (approximately 60 ml)
1 egg
1/4 cup white sugar (approximately 50 g)
1 1/4 cups cake flour (approximately 160 g)
1 teaspoon baking powder
Preparation of Orange Mixture
Let’s kickstart the culinary adventure by preparing the flavorful orange mixture:
Peel three oranges and cut them into small pieces.
In a non-stick pan, combine the orange pieces with 40 g of white granulated sugar and the juice of half a lemon.
Cook the mixture over medium heat until the oranges form a soft cream, stirring occasionally with a soft spatula.
Once done, remove from heat and let it cool.
Dough Preparation and Assembly
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 50 g of white sugar until well combined.
Add 60 ml of vegetable oil and the grated zest of a lemon to the egg mixture, and mix thoroughly.
Gradually incorporate 160 g of cake flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder into the mixture, kneading until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Line a cake pan with parchment paper and spread a portion of the dough evenly on the bottom.
Poke holes in the dough with a fork and spread a layer of the cooked orange mixture on top.
Add another layer of dough and orange mixture, then finish with a final layer of dough.
Baking the Cake
Preheat your oven to 180°C and bake the cake for 35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
