What's Cooking at Sofia's: My Grandmother's Orange Torte
A nice sweet orange torte that is pretty easy to make and looks absolutely beautiful at a dinner party.
I have made this recipe quite a few times and was actually chosen a while back for the Entree section of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. People have loved it, yet I cannot take full credit as this was yet another of my Grandmother's recipes.
I did, however, adjust it to today's taste and it's one I often get compliments on. Also, it is a perfect recipe to try with blood oranges which are in season just for a littel longer now.
INGREDIENTS
6 eggs
1.5 cups of sugar
juice from two large oranges (approx. 1 cup)
1 tbps cornstartch
a little white sugar to add at the end

DIRECTIONS
- Heat the oven to 335degrees
- Dissolve the cornstarch with the juice from 1 orange
- Add the eggs and sugar and beat until all mixed well together
- Place parchement paper over a large oven tray (13"x14") and butter it well
- Pour the mixture over it and make sure it is all uniformed
- Place it in the oven for about 25 minutes
- Remove it from the oven, let it stand for 5 minutes
- Cut around the edges prior to rolling the torte and it will help not to break (do not throw it out though, enjoy and eat it!)
- Then roll to form a torte
- Add the remainder orange juice over the torte and sprinkle with white sugar
