The apple and orange cake is a simple dessert for snack or breakfast. Made without milk and butter, light and fluffy, it will please your whole family. A cake made with just a few simple ingredients you have in your pantry: eggs, flour, sugar, and olive oil. For the oranges, I recommend using untreated ones so you can also use the grated zest. This apple and orange cake keeps very well for 3-4 days, staying soft and fragrant. I also recommend the apple cake with oil, simple and light, while the more gluttonous ones can try the apple cake with mascarpone.
