Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined and no dry flour remains visible. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Once the cake is cool, dust it with powdered sugar. Garnish with orange segments if desired.
