How to make
1. Mix and boil 100-120 grams of sugar with water (syrup should thicken slightly).
2. Put the oranges cut into thin slices in syrup and cook over low heat, under the lid, for 7-8 minutes.
3. Beat the remaining granulated sugar with eggs. Then put the pre-softened butter in the same bowl, mix well until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Now add the zest of one orange and mix well again.
4. Mix flour with baking powder, gradually add to the resulting egg-butter mixture. The dough will be quite light and liquid.
5. Cover the baking dish with baking paper, put the oranges boiled in syrup on the bottom. Here you can experiment: from how you lay out the oranges, the appearance of the cake will ultimately depend. I arrange them in the form of a flower, very simple and at the same time beautiful.
6. Now carefully, so as not to move the laid oranges, fill them with dough, level them - and you can put the cake in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. Bake the cake with oranges for 25-30 minutes, slightly reducing the heat so that the temperature is 180 degrees.
7. Whether the cake is baked, check with a toothpick, when there are no traces of dough left on them, the cake is ready. Now remove the cake from the oven, wait for it to cool, and only then remove it from the mold, turn it over and remove the paper.
