A delicious orange cake made by blending an entire untreated orange, including the peel, with the batter. The cake is fluffy and enhanced with a sweet orange glaze on top.
1: In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with electric whisks until fluffy and white.
2: Gradually add the softened butter and sifted flour, then add the baking powder.
3: Mix all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth.
4: Cut the orange into pieces (remove seeds if desired), and blend it with the peel until pureed.
5: Combine the orange puree with the cake batter and mix well with a spoon.
6: Pour the batter into a well-buttered cake pan, level the surface, and bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for about 35 minutes.
7: Before taking the cake out of the oven, do the toothpick test to ensure it is cooked through.
8: For the glaze, heat sugar and orange juice in a pan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens.
9: Add chopped candied orange peel and mix well.
10: Brush the surface of the cake with the orange glaze.
