Preheat the oven to 150\u00b0C. Pour the sugar into a bowl and grate the zest of the oranges over it. Add the eggs and whisk everything until they are foamy. Squeeze the oranges, filter the juice and set it aside (it will be used to sprinkle the single portions);<br \/>\n2. Add the flour, baking powder, salt and Bonamini <strong>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oliobonamini.com\/en\/product\/san-felice-100-italiano\/\">San Felice<\/a>\u201d<\/strong> <strong>extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> to the egg and sugar mixture. Mix well and then pour the mixture into 9 cups, previously placed in a muffin pan;<br \/>\n3. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and immediately make holes on the surface of 6 of the 9 muffins, using a knife. Sprinkle lightly with the orange juice and fill with the previously assembled cream (keep some aside). For a delicious <strong>mimosa cake<\/strong> filling, follow the original recipe <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.giallozafferano.com\/recipes\/pastry-cream.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<br \/>\n4. Remove the cups from the 3 remaining muffins without orange juice and fillings and cut them into cubes, all of the same size.<br \/>\n5. With the remaining part of the cream, cover the surface of the 6 muffins soaked in orange juice (not more than a teaspoon). Place the cubes obtained on top of it, which will act as a &#8220;glue&#8221;, and complete with a sprinkling of icing sugar, as desired.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.oliobonamini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/San-Felice-156x300.png\" alt=\"Olio San Felice 100% Italiano\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oliobonamini.com\/en\/product\/san-felice-100-italiano\/\">San Felice<\/a>\u201d extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> is the perfect ally in the preparation of all sugary desserts and bread products, as with its delicate and very well balanced flavour, a classic of <strong>extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> from the east Verona area, it manages to give that extra softness and lightness to all recipes.<br \/>\nThe vast range of <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oliobonamini.com\/en\/product-category\/olio-extravergine\/\"><strong>Bonamini olive oils<\/strong><\/a> are suitable for the preparation of various delicacies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oliobonamini.com\/en\/blog\/dolci-di-san-valentino-e-chiacchiere-di-carnevale\/\">Valentine&#8217;s Day Sweets and Carnival Chiacchiere<\/a>, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oliobonamini.com\/en\/blog\/il-nostro-olio-extravergine-ospite-donore-nella-cucina-di-sonia-peronaci\/\">savory pies<\/a> in the kitchen of the cook and founder of GialloZafferano Sonia Peronaci, for <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oliobonamini.com\/en\/blog\/torta-al-cioccolato-senza-burro\">chocolate cakes without butter<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oliobonamini.com\/en\/blog\/2022\/03\/15\/torta-morbida-al-limone-loriginale-ricetta-con-lolio-al-limone-bonamini\/\">soft lemon scent cake<\/a> handed down from generation to generation like in our family.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The origins of the mimosa cake date back to the early fifties of the twentieth century, more precisely in the province of Rieti.
