To make a super soft orange cake , it is essential to select high-quality ingredients. Here are the key elements:
Ingredients
- 4 whole eggs : Preferably at room temperature, to ensure better emulsion and a softer consistency.
- 1 glass of sugar (about 150 g ) : White granulated sugar is ideal for sweetening the dough in a balanced way.
- 3 glasses of 00 flour (about 300 g ) : 00 flour is perfect for obtaining a light and delicate texture.
- 1 glass of fresh orange juice : Freshly squeezed orange juice gives an intense and natural aroma to the cake.
- Half a glass of sunflower oil : Sunflower oil gives softness to the dough without altering the flavor of the other ingredients.
- Grated zest of 1 orange : Orange zest adds an intense aromatic note, enhancing the scent of the dessert.
- 1 sachet of baking powder ( 16 g ) : Baking powder ensures uniform leavening, making the cake soft and light.
Instructions
- Eggs : Choose fresh, quality eggs, preferably organic, for a more authentic taste.
- Flour : 00 flour is ideal for soft cakes; sifting it before use prevents lumps from forming.
- Oranges : Opt for untreated oranges, especially when using the peel, to avoid pesticide residues.
- Sunflower oil : Choose a good quality sunflower oil, which contributes to the lightness of the dough without affecting the flavor.
