Schiacciata alla Fiorentina

Florentine Sponge Cake

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup milk
Grated orange peel from 1 orange
1/2 tsp saffron powder
90 g sugar
2 eggs
1/4 tsp salt

In a medium bowl, mix all of the ingredients and beat thoroughly until the batter is
smooth and thick with no lumps. Grease a shallow rectangular baking pan and pour in
the batter (the schiacciata should be about 2 cm high). Bake at 150 c for 30

That's it!
