Preparation
- Untreated oranges: 3
- Eggs: 3
- Granulated sugar: 125g
- Extra virgin olive oil (Il Cavallino Tradizionale): 150g
- Milk: 125g
- All-purpose flour (type 00): 250g
- Packet of baking powder for cakes: 1
- Powdered sugar: as needed
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Prepare a springform pan by greasing it with butter. Sprinkle the inside of the pan with 2 tablespoons of sugar, ensuring it adheres evenly and removing any excess.
Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate the oil and milk while continuing to mix. Sift the flour and baking powder directly into the egg mixture. Blend for another minute to combine well.
Add the grated orange zest to the batter. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Place in the oven immediately.
Initially bake at 200°C (392°F) for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180°C (356°F) and continue baking for about 20 more minutes, or until the surface is golden brown.
Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely. Finally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
