Orange pie in the oven

We will prepare all the necessary ingredients for making orange pie in the oven. Since the orange almost all goes to the pie, it needs to be thoroughly washed. This must be done with a brush and hot water. For insurance, I still have my household soap and thoroughly rinse who knows what hands he went through. Immediately turn on the oven for heating to 180 degrees.

We wipe the orange and rub the zest on a fine grater on one side. On the other hand, cut the zest and cut it with a thin straw. The zest needs to be cut very thinly without the white part, which gives bitterness.

Cut off the white part from the remaining orange and cut out the segments without films. Cut the cut flesh into medium pieces. The rest can simply be eaten or added to the compote. Of course, you can simply clean it with your hands, disassemble it into segments and remove it from each film. But then the cooking time will double.

We will break the eggs and separate the yolks from the proteins. Put the squirrels in a clean cold bowl of the mixer and put them in the refrigerator for now. We will combine the yolks with half the sugar and rub them into foam until whitened.

Install the bowl of the mixer and beat the whites with a pinch of salt into a lush foam. Continuing to beat, add sugar gradually and beat until smooth, dense.

We put grated zest in whipped proteins.

Add grated yolks to the bowl with proteins and zest.

Sieve the flour through a fine sieve straight into a bowl of beaten eggs and zest.

Now gently mix with a plastic spatula to leave the air with which we have saturated the masses. You need to do this from the bottom up, as if folding the dough upstairs. We do this to a homogeneous mass.

Put down the pieces and oranges and stir gently again.

Lubricate the silicone mold or Teflon-coated metal with vegetable oil. Shift the biscuit mass and level the surface. I have a shape with a diameter of 18 cm. You can use a diameter of 16 or 20 cm. Be careful! The height of the pie also depends on the size of the shape, so the baking time can change up or down.

We put orange cake in the hot 180S oven for about 25-30 minutes, until ready (focus on your technique). The top should turn light brown, the cake is tight when pressed. And if you stick a wooden skewer, then it should remain dry when it is removed.

Remove from the oven and leave in the tin for 10 minutes. Then we remove it from the mold and let it cool completely. Put on a large dish, sprinkle with icing sugar and chopped zest.

We serve our delicious orange pie with tea, coffee or just milk.

Enjoy your meal.
