Whip the 2 whole eggs with the sugar for 6-7 minutes using an electric mixer until you have a light and frothy mixture.
Add the melted butter, juice, and zest of the oranges. Mix well.
Add the sifted flour and potato starch and the baking powder. Mix.
Finally, add the chocolate chips and mix with a spatula to incorporate them into the batter.
Pour the batter into a 9 x 11 inch rectangular pan greased or lined with parchment paper. Bake the Orange Cake in the preheated oven in static mode for 35-40 minutes.
