Add the grated zest of one orange and, finally, the packet of baking powder. Transfer the batter to a 9.5-inch bundt pan or an 8-inch springform pan, greased and floured, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 35 minutes, but always do the skewer test to check for doneness. Let it cool on a rack before slicing.
