bolo de laranga (orange sponge cake)
This recipe is similar to Pao de Lo (Sponge Cake), but the orange flavor really stands out. I was surprised at how easy it is to make. The best part of this cake is that it uses NO OIL & NO BUTTER which makes it a great low fat dessert. All you need are 5 basic ingredients that most of you have on hand everyday so it’s a great go-to dessert when you need something easy and quick.

In a food processor, add the orange peels and segments, 5 eggs, sugar & salt. Blend into a puree consistency. Strain the batter through a fine strainer into your mixing bowl. Discard any remaining segment in strainer. Beat the batter for about 15 minutes until foamy.
