Preparation
-
Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
-
To obtain a lighter dough, beat all the ingredients for a long time. Do this for at least five minutes. This procedure will help to incorporate air into the cake dough, making the dough fluffier.
-
Separate the yolks from the whites. Place in a mixer and beat until the egg whites are stiff and set aside.
-
Beat four egg yolks, together with the juice of two oranges.
-
Add a cup of sugar. Beat the egg yolks and sugar for 5 minutes until a whitish cream forms.
-
Add two cups of sifted flour and yeast and mix everything together.
-
Add the zest of an orange and mix.
-
Then, fold the four egg whites into the previous preparation.
-
Grease a mold with butter and sprinkle with flour and pour the dough into it.
-
Bake in the oven (preheated to 180 degrees) for around 45 minutes.
-
When it is cooked, remove it from the oven, let it cool and remove it from the mold.
-
You can decorate the cake with powdered sugar or grated coconut.
