Sponge cake with orange

IIt’s lot of time that I wanted to make this cake soft and fluffy with orange.

One day, walking through the center to go to the bakery, I met this cute lady who taught me how to do pastiera … I stopped her and thanked her, telling her that this year I did very well pastiera .

She told me to make another cake that she makes to her grandchildren and they really like it.It’s with  orange juice … gave me two directions and in my own way I’ve played.

She was good good good and fragrant! Great for breakfast and for a healthy snack.

I used the sponge cake dough by adding the juice and zest of one orange, plus the vial of orange blossom. I assure you that there was a smell in the house as if you were still doing the pastiera.

Here is the cake with orange daisy:

Orange Marmalade

Orange marmalade

Finally I did some of my spare inevitable jams in the pantry. I really like  jam in the morning and since it is still the season of oranges and I had never done, I tried the experiment, and it failed. A delicious taste flavored jam and accentuated by the peel.

To this I must again thank Paola, a cousin of my husband, now you know!

In fact, I asked her in the first place, in the web there were various ways of doing it. She is the only one in the family who prepares jams.

So I followed  directions, removing the peel and holding it by hand, being careful to remove all the existing white part that otherwise would give a bitter taste.

Here is the orange marmalade:

  2. Cut across the white part with a knife to remove the peel and also the inner strands that are removed.
  3. Cut the flesh into small pieces and place in a saucepan with the zest, the juice of an orange and a glass of water.
