Ingredients
- 2 de eggs
- 1cup de sugar
- 3/4cup de oilSubstitui por: manteiga, margarina
- 1cup de strained orange juice
- 1/2level tablespoon de orange zest
- 2cups de all-purpose flour
- 1level tablespoon de baking powder
- 1cup de strained orange juice
- 4level tablespoons de granulated sugar
- orange slices opcional
- orange zest shavings opcional
Instructions
In a stand mixer or bowl, add the two eggs and beat for one minute.
Add the sugar and oil (or butter/margarine) and beat for another minute.
Dica: If using butter or margarine, use the same quantity in milliliters as the oil (150 ml).
Incorporate the strained orange juice and the fine orange zest into the mixture.
Dica: Use a very fine grater to get the zest.
Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder, and mix quickly.
Dica: Mix just until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
Transfer the batter to a 8-inch baking pan greased with butter and floured.
Dica: Quickly beat the batter for another minute after adding the dry ingredients.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 170°C (if using a convection electric oven) for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Dica: If using a conventional oven, adjust the temperature to 180°C.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: in a saucepan, mix the strained orange juice and granulated sugar, and bring to a boil.
After the glaze boils, immediately pour it over the still-warm cake, either right after partially unmolding it or after resting for 30 minutes.
Dica: Unmold the cake after about 30 minutes of resting and return it to the same pan to receive the glaze.
With a knife, make small holes in the sides and the center of the cake to help with glaze absorption, and wait for the liquid to be absorbed.
Dica: Make the holes while the cake is still absorbing the glaze.
To completely unmold, cover the cake with plastic wrap or parchment paper over the serving plate and flip it over.
Dica: The plastic between the cake and the plate prevents the cake from sticking when turned over.
Garnish the cake with orange slices and zest, if desired.
