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.
