Ingredients for a 22 cm diameter mold

How to make an orange and nut cake
Beat the eggs with the sugar until they blanch. Add the flour, yeast and zest of the orange peel and mix well. You can help yourself with a kitchen robot if it is more comfortable for you.
We squeeze the orange e add the juice to the mixture. Once well mixed, add the yogurt and pass the dough to a bowl. Apparently the dough will be light but when we add the nuts and after baking, it will be a very spongy cake.
We peel the California nuts and chop the dried fruit into large pieces, incorporating it into the mixture. This mixing operation It is better that you do it manually with some rods so that the nuts are not chopped too much and so we find some pieces in each serving of sponge cake.
We preheat the oven to 180º and pour the mixture into a mold previously rubbed with a piece of butter so that the sponge cake later takes off well. We bake for 35 minutes. Once the cake is cold, we proceed to unmold it and decorate it.
Decor
We cut the edges of a paper lace or we look for a crochet lace or similar that has a drawing with openwork holes. We place that cut in the center of our cake and pour 2 tablespoons of glass sugar in a strainer to sprinkle it with a few touches on the cake.
We ended up removing the lace and seeing how the negative drawing in the center of the cake, taking our partner to bed, with an orange juice and a very warm coffee to start Valentine's Day with enthusiasm and joy.
