Preparation
How to prepare the soft orange and cinnamon cake recipe
First, take the zest of two oranges and then squeeze all three to obtain 250 ml of juice .
First of all, shell the eggs in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, add the sugar and start mixing with an electric whisk until you obtain a light and creamy mixture.
Add the seed oil , the orange zest and, continuing to work, add the orange juice a little at a time, alternating it with the flour .
Also add the baking powder and cinnamon powder and mix until they are perfectly incorporated.
Pour the mixture thus obtained into a 24 cm diameter cake tin lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 40 minutes. Before removing the cake from the oven, carry out the classic toothpick test : if it comes out clean, the cake is cooked and you can remove it from the oven. Let cool completely before serving.
Over time we have tried many recipes of this type. If you are looking for some alternatives we recommend the eggless orange cake, the very quick one cooked in an air fryer , or try your hand at a typical Sicilian recipe that contains all the flavor of this fruit: orange bread .
