- 3 eggs L
- 1 glass of olive oil
- 1 glass of fresh orange juice
- 2 glasses of sugar (can be brown sugar)
- 2 glasses of pastry flour
- 1 sachet of backing powder
- the scrape of a lemon
- First we are going to prepare the lemon scrape, for this, we previously wash it very well and dry it with absorbent paper.
- With the help of a fine grater, we remove the scrape from the lemon, being careful not to take it beyond the peel, since the white part of the lemon is bitter.
- Now we are going to separate the yolks of the eggs from the whites.
- We beat the whites with some rods until we get the point of snow.
- Next, we add the sugar, the yolks that we had reserved and the lemon zest.
- We mix carefully with a spatula, without beating the mixture.
- We continue adding ingredients, now the orange juice, the oil and the yeast.
- Finally, we add the flour little by little without stopping mixing.
- We preheat the oven to 180º and place a container with water in the oven.
- In the mold we put a baking paper to prevent it from sticking.
- Add the mixture and give a few taps with the mold on the countertop, in this way we prevent bubbles from coming out inside.
- We bake for about 40 minutes.
