Ingredients
- 280 g of Ruggeri Rice Flour
- 30 g of potato starch
- 3 eggs

Rice flour cake recipe
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the former until stiff. Set them aside. In a bowl, beat the sugar with the egg yolks until creamy, and gradually add the seed oil.
- Add the sifted flour and starch to the creamy mixture, a little at a time, alternating with the orange juice. Add the vanilla and sifted baking powder. Mix well.
- Finally, add the egg whites, mixing delicately with a spatula, using movements from the bottom upwards so as not to deflate the mixture.
- Oil and flour a cake tin (20 cm in diameter), or line it completely with baking paper, making sure it adheres well to the sides of the tin.
- Pour the mixture into the cake pan and bake in a preheated oven, static mode, at 180°C for 45 minutes. Before taking it out of the oven, always do the toothpick test which must come out dry and clean. Otherwise, continue cooking for a few more minutes.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan. Unmold, decorate with icing sugar and serve.
