Ingredients
  

To prepare the pans

  • 2 tablespoon butter (salted), at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour

For the cake

  • ½  pound all-purpose flour, (225 grams)
  • 1 ½  tablespoons baking powder, (see notes)
  • ½  pound butter (salted), (225 grams), at room temperature
  • ½  pound sugar (white, granulated), (225 grams)
  • 6 pic egg yolk, plus enough egg white to weigh ½ lb (225 grams) in total, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoons lime zest, freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup orange juice, at room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Before you begin this recipe, it is important to carefully read through the instructions and introduction. To ensure the best outcome, be sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients, including fresh baking powder that is still effective. It is also crucial that all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
  • Keep in mind that even if you have a high-quality oven, it is likely not calibrated correctly. According to Cook's Illustrated - The Science of Good Cooking (pg. 5), there can be a significant difference between the temperature displayed on the dial and the actual temperature inside the oven. This can greatly affect the outcome of your cake, so it is recommended that you invest in an oven thermometer to check the accuracy. Without one, you will be left guessing and may not get the desired result.
  • If you have a convection oven, it is important to note that it has a fan that allows for faster cooking times and better temperature control. Be sure to check if your oven has this feature.
  • To start, preheat your oven at least 30 minutes before beginning the recipe. For the orange juice, you can use no-sugar-added juice from a carton or fresh juice squeezed at home for the best flavor. Remember, using fresh ingredients and being mindful of oven temperature are key to achieving a delicious cake.
