Step-by-Step Cooking Directions
Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Grease the 20 cm casserole dish lightly with oil or line the bottom with parchment. Set aside.

Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the three eggs into two bowls: yolks in one, whites in another. Keep yolks at room temperature for easier incorporation, and whites chilled for best volume.

Zest and Juice Oranges: Finely zest one orange, avoiding white pith. Juice enough oranges to yield 180 ml of juice. Strain to remove pulp and seeds.

Whisk Yolks and Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk 3 egg yolks with 8 tbsp of sugar and the salt until pale yellow and slightly thickened. Vigorously whisk for 2–3 minutes to dissolve sugar.

Add Oil, Juice, and Zest: Gradually drizzle in the 180 ml oil while whisking, then whisk in all the orange juice and the zest until the mixture is homogeneous.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the 90 g flour and 12 g baking powder to ensure even distribution.

Fold Dry into Wet: Gently fold the sifted flour mixture into the yolk mixture in two additions. Use a spatula, folding just until no streaks remain to preserve lightness.

Beat Egg Whites: Using an electric mixer, beat the three egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 4 tbsp sugar, two tablespoons at a time, and increase speed to high. Whip until stiff, glossy peaks form.

Incorporate Whites: Lift one-third of the meringue into the yolk batter to lighten it, then gently fold in the remaining whites until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain aeration.

Transfer and Smooth: Pour the batter into the prepared casserole dish. Smooth the top with an offset spatula, ensuring even thickness.

Bake: Place on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.

Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen, then invert onto a wire rack. Peel off parchment if used, and cool completely.
