Ingredients

Let’s see the ingredients we need to prepare this recipe

  • 2 eggs
  • 2.8 oz vegetable oil
  • 1 pinch fine salt
  • 1 orange (juice plus grated zest)
  • 2.5 oz potato starch
  • Half vial orange flavoring
  • 1.8 oz sugar
  • 1.2 oz raisins
  • 1.1 oz chocolate chips
  • 6 fl oz water
  • 10.6 oz flour
  • 1 packet baking powder

Tools

  • 1 Electric whisk
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Cake pan

Steps

  • First, take a bowl and add the eggs (left at room temperature) along with the sugar. Beat them with a whisk until they are light and fluffy.
    Now add a pinch of salt, the oil, water, half a vial of orange essence, the zest, and orange juice. Mix well.

    Take the raisins and soak them for a few minutes in two fingers of your favorite liqueur. After a moment, add them to the batter and continue mixing. Also, add half the amount of chocolate chips.

    Let’s start incorporating the sifted flour and potato starch. Lastly, the packet of vanilla baking powder.
    Continue mixing the batter until it is smooth and frothy.

  • Now take the pan, butter and flour it. I used a 9-inch diameter mold. Pour the batter inside and decorate with chocolate drops.

    Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees, static mode for about 40/45 minutes.
    Always do the toothpick test before turning off the oven. The cake should be dry, and the toothpick should not be sticky. Adjust according to your own oven.

Storage of the Water Cake with Raisins and Chocolate

The cake keeps for 2/3 days under a glass dome.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
