Orange cake
I love the aroma of an orange cake baking in the oven. I make this one often, the golden color and incredible aroma. A classic cake for Shabbat, light and airy, moist and golden, with the delicious flavor of oranges. Make it and you’ll enjoy every bite.
26 cm or A4 sized baking tin
Ingredients:

2.5 tsp baking powder

1. Place the eggs in the bowl of a mixer and start beating on low speed, then slowly add the sugar and increase the mixer speed to medium-high for 2-3 minutes.
2. Lower the speed and add the oil, orange juice, flour, and baking powder. Mix on low speed until well combined.
3. Preheat an oven to 180°C.
