3Grate the orange zest from the orange. Squeeze the oranges using a hand juicer (or any other method you have at your disposal) and pass it through a sieve.
4Mix the orange juice, zest and coconut sugar in a bowl with a whisk. Add stevia, egg yolks and mix until the coconut sugar is dissolved. Add the natural orange color (optional). Add the flour and baking powder, mix with a whisk or with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add butter to the mix (the butter should be at room temperature and soft. If not: melt it in a microwave).
5Take the egg whites in the bowl and use a whisk to get stiff peaks. Use a hand mixer to beat the eggs if you like. This process will take 2-3 minutes when using a whisk. Add the egg whites to the mix.
6Mix the ingredients well; do not beat much, just enough to mix the egg whites with the cake mix. Pour the mix in a well-greased baking tin
7Place in the pre-heated oven with a water bath and bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (the water bath adds moisture to the oven and provides a more even, slower heat source than the direct heat of an oven).
8Allow the cake to cool in the baking tin, garnish with the leftover orange zest. Serve warm
