- 1 Pan
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Grater
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Electric Whisk
Steps
In a bowl, pour the room temperature eggs and sugar.
Start whisking until stiff, add the pinch of salt and the grated orange zest.
For flavoring, vanilla or other essence works as well.
Now add the oil in a thin stream and the water, continuing to mix with the whisk.
Once the liquids are finished, start adding the sifted powders, the flour, starch, and baking powder.
Be careful not to use the whisk at too high a speed, otherwise the flour will spread everywhere.😉
When the batter is ready, take your 8.66-inch pan and butter and flour it.
If you prefer, you can line with compostable parchment paper.
In a small bowl, put the hazelnut cream and milk, about 2/3 teaspoons (of milk) will be enough, we just need to make it smoother and creamier.
With this trick, even when baked, the cream won’t harden too much.
Pour half of the batter into the pan and add the 6 teaspoons of cream mixed with milk in the middle.
I say to stay more in the center, so it doesn’t spill out from the edges.
Cover with the remaining batter.
Now bake at 347°F in a preheated ventilated oven, for about 40 minutes.
Always make the toothpick test before taking it out.
If necessary, leave it a few more minutes or less. Always adjust according to your oven’s power.
Once ready, you can dust it with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
Are you ready to enjoy this homemade, fragrant, and genuine cake?
