How to Prepare

Take the eggs out of the refrigerator before baking so they can come to room temperature. Squeeze the fresh orange juice and set aside. Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C). Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the eggs and beat at medium speed for 8 minutes. Reduce the mixer to low speed. Slowly pour in the 180g of Partanna Sicilian Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a thin, steady stream. Continue mixing until the oil is fully incorporated. Add the orange juice gradually and continue mixing until completely absorbed. Add the almond flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Mix on low speed just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix. Turn off the mixer as soon as the batter comes together. Add the zest of one lemon and one orange. Using a spatula, gently fold the zest into the batter with a bottom-to-top motion. Pour the batter into a prepared 12-inch cake pan, spreading it evenly. Bake at 340°F (170°C) until the cake is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for approximately 1 hour. Once completely cooled, dust the top generously with the included powdered sugar. Finish with the dried orange slices for an elegant citrus-inspired decoration.
