Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 5 minutes
Number of servings: 12-15 servings

Ingredients

- 6 eggs
- 300 g flour
- 100 ml oil (you can use sunflower or canola oil)
- 250 g sugar
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (approximately 7 g)
- 2 tablespoons coconut flakes
- A handful of raisins
- A few pieces of rose-flavored Turkish delight
- 3 tablespoons colorful cake decorations
- Dr. Oetker icing (optional)

Preparation Technique

1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure the eggs are at room temperature before using them. They will whip better, and the cake will have a fluffier texture. Carefully zest the lemon and orange, avoiding the bitter white part.

2. Beating the egg whites: In a large bowl, add the 6 egg whites and a pinch of salt. Beat them with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until the mixture becomes shiny and firm. This is an essential step for getting a fluffy cake.

3. Adding wet ingredients: Gently fold in the beaten yolks and oil, mixing lightly with a spatula or wooden spoon. When everything is well combined, add the lemon and orange zest along with the coconut flakes.

4. Incorporating dry ingredients: Sift the flour together with the baking powder directly into the wet mixture. Add the lemon juice and mix gently until everything is well homogenized. Be careful not to overmix, so you don’t ruin the airy texture of the batter.

5. Preparing the baking pan: Grease a 32 cm pan with oil and sprinkle a little flour to prevent sticking. This will help the cake release easily after baking.

6. Adding aromatic ingredients: Pour half of the batter into the pan, then place pieces of Turkish delight and raisins, alternating. Cover with the remaining batter and sprinkle the colorful decorations on top, which will add a touch of joy to your cake.

7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test. When the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready!

8. Cooling and serving: Allow the cake to cool in the pan to stabilize. Once cooled, you can cut it with a glass or a cookie cutter, yielding perfect portions. If desired, you can glaze it with Dr. Oetker icing for a more festive appearance.
