Ingredients

300 g Flour
6 Eggs
300 g Sugar
100 ml Water
100 ml Orange juice
1 Orange zest
120 g Seeds oil
1 sachet Baking powder
1 sachet Cream of tartar
1 sachet Salt

Proceedings

Divide egg whites from the yolks. In a bowl mix the oil, the water, the yolks, the grated orange peel, and the juice. 
Start whipping the egg whites with a pinch of salt and halfway, add some cream of tartar (it will help to keep the result firmer).

Preheat the oven at 160°. Put all the powdered ingredients (flour, baking powder, and sugar) in a different bowl and mix them.

Add oil and juice to the mixture. Add the whipped egg whites and mix gently moving from the bottom to the top. Pour the mixture into the mold and place it in the oven at 160° for 45/50 minutes.

Decorate to taste.
