Description
Ribera, city of oranges. Fantastic Sicilian town near the Temples of Agrigento. The sea is splendid, the air full of magic and the oranges... oh the oranges. The oranges are delicious here.
Ribera, this is where this simple but delicious cake comes from, with a delicate but also decisive taste with that slight bitter orange aftertaste similar to the best Sicilian jams. To be exact, this was the amazing welcome of the people of Ribera during a beach holiday, with this cake turned upside-down with oranges. Delicious people... exactly like oranges... and like this dessert!
The recipe was tried by the editorial staff before publishing it, but we did not put an ingredient recommended by Arianna and her mother: Marsala wine. Try also to replace the juice of an orange with a glass of this Sicilian fortified wine... you will not regret it!
Ingredients
- 4 organic oranges
- 3 eggs
- 8,8 oz (250 g) of flour 0
- 3,5 oz (100 g) of brown sugar + about 5 spoons for the surface
- A packet of yeast for desserts
- A sachet of vanilla
- A coffee cup of seeds oil
- A pinch of salt
- Cinnamon powder
Preparation
- Coat the baking paper pan and sprinkle the bottom evenly with brown sugar. Peel 2 oranges, cut into slices and cover the sugared base. Turn on the oven at 180°C.
- Beat, with the help of an electric whisk, the eggs with the sugar and a pinch of salt to create a homogeneous and frothy mixture. Add the oil, the zest and the juice of two oranges (or the juice of an orange + a glass of marsala wine).
- Sift the flour together with the yeast and vanilla, continue to mix until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
- Bake for about 30 minutes. When the surface is golden, turn off and let cool. Present the dessert by turning it upside-down and dusting the surface with a little cinnamon powder.
