---

INGREDIENTS

• 250 g of Sifted flour

• 250 g of Sugar

• 170 g of Whipping cream

• 75 g of Sunflower Oil

• 1 cc of Cinnamoon

• Grated orange peel

• 1 Envelope of Yeast powder

• 1 cc of essence of vanilla

• 3 pc of Eggs

• Butter and flour (for the mould)

• 1 pc of Orange to decorate

For the Syrup

• 3 pc of strained Orange juice

• 5 cs of Sugar

PREPARATION FOR THE CAKE

Before you start, preheat the oven to 180ºC so that, when you bake, it is at the right temperature.

1. Beat the eggs with the sugar in a bowl for a few minutes until the mixture is white and thickens.

2. Add the oil, cream and vanilla essence. Mix well after adding each ingredient until the mixture is homogeneous.

3. In a separate bowl, put the previously sifted flour, cinnamon, orange zest and yeast, and mix well.

4. Then, gradually add the flour mixture to the bowl with the liquid mixture (it is advisable to do it three times, mixing well with a wooden spoon after each addition).

5. When the dough is ready, grease a cake pan well with butter and sprinkle flour on it (you will get the ideal amount if you give slight blows on the walls of the mold so that a very thin film of flour remains on the bottom and walls).

6. Finally, pour the dough into the pan and bake for 35 - 40 minutes.

7. After that time check that your cake is well baked and let cool on a rack.

8. Cut the orange into slices no more than a centimeter thick and place over the cake. Now it is time to bathe it with syrup.

FOR THE SYRUP

First, put the orange juice and sugar in a saucepan, stir well and bring to a boil without stopping stirring at any time.

1. When it boils, remove from the heat and let cool.

2. When cold, bathe the surface of the cake with the syrup and wait a bit until it is completely absorbed. Ready to eat!
