Ingredients

eggs 3 medium-sized (about 60g each) + 1 yolk

flour equal weight to the eggs

fine granulated sugar equal weight to the eggs

salted butter equal weight to the eggs, softened and cut into small cubes (plus an extra walnut-sized piece for greasing the mold)

orange zest 2 tsp

yeast half a packet

Instructions

Prepare and Preheat

Preheat the oven to 150°C. Carefully grease the mold.

Cream the Butter and Sugar

Place the butter in a large bowl and stir with a spatula until soft. Add the sugar and beat until the mixture turns slightly white and creamy. Add the eggs and mix thoroughly.

Add the Flour and Orange

Quickly mix the flour and yeast in a large bowl, then fold into the mixture. Add the orange zest and mix again. The batter should be completely uniform.

Bake

Pour the batter into a 22 cm high-sided baking mold and bake for about 40 minutes. Test with a knife — it should come out dry. Let cool slightly before unmolding.
