PREPARATION

1st step
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees top/bottom heat (fan oven: 160 degrees).  Grease three springform pans (Ø 20 cm) and dust them with a little flour.  To make the dough, mix the butter and sugar until fluffy, gradually add the eggs and beat the mixture until light and creamy.

2nd step
Wash the orange with hot water, rub dry and grate 3 teaspoons of peel.  Add vanilla extract and orange zest to the butter-sugar mixture, stir in salt.  Mix and sift the flour, starch and baking powder in a bowl, add everything to the dough and stir.

3rd step
Divide the dough between the three prepared springform pans, smooth it out and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until golden brown.  Allow the cake bases to cool on a wire rack and remove from the tin.  Cut the cake layers straight.
