Preparation

To prepare the paradise cake, start by sifting flour, starch and baking powder into a bowl; then mix with a spoon to mix them best. In another bowl put the soft butter into pieces, pour the pulp of half a vanilla bean and grate half untreated lemon peel. Grate also half an orange peel, always untreated. 

Start working with the electric whisk the vanilla flavored butter, adding the icing sugar. When the mixture has assumed a soft and airy consistency, add also the 80 g of egg yolks (about 4 egg yolks medium) then pour the salt and continue to work the mixture with electric whips until you get a soft and creamy consistency.

Keep aside and in another bowl add the two whole eggs and add the granulated sugar; work everything with electric whips and as soon as this mixture of eggs and sugar will be light and smooth.

You can add it to the one with butter, sugar and egg yolks, alternating with the pour of the powders. Then pour a little egg and sugar mixture, mix well with a marisa. Then add a part of the powders and keep stirring.

Continue with the liquid part again and finish with the powders until they are finished. This alternation of poured and processing will serve to make the dough of the typical crumbly consistency of the paradise cake.

Take a mold of 24 cm in diameter and butter it with the help of a brush, flour it and pour the dough of the paradise cake. Level it with a spatula until the surface is homogeneous. 

Cook the paradise cake in a preheated oven at 170 ° for about 45-50 minutes (adjust according to the strength of your oven, cover the cake with aluminum foil after 30 minutes of cooking if you see that it darkens excessively and continue cooking).

Once ready (always test the toothpick), take it out and wait about 20 minutes before turning it over a serving dish.

Remove the mold very gently and let it cool completely for about 1 hour. Only once cold sprinkle with powdered sugar to create a homogeneous layer on the surface. Your paradise cake is ready to be tasted.
