Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/3 cups flour

Recipe Notes

• You could add some fresh orange zest to the batter before baking for even more orange flavor.

• For a pretty presentation, put slices of orange on top of the cake.

• Fresh is best for this recipe, so squeeze your own orange juice if you can. If not, use store-bought orange juice.

Here's how to make it:

1. Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl until fluffy and pale in color. 
2. Whisk in the flour and baking powder.
