Directions
- The recipe for juicy orange cubes is quite simple. To start, heat the oven to 180 C.

- Press the mixture evenly into a square pan that you have covered with baking paper. Place the baking tray in the heated oven for 30 minutes.
- While baking, prepare the cream. Mix orange juice, eggs, sugar, cornstarch, flour and orange peel in a saucepan and heat the liquid on the stove at a moderate temperature until it thickens. When the liquid boils, cook everything together for about one minute, then remove from the stove.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the butter.
- Pour the cream over the baked base and return everything to the oven. Bake the cake for another 30 minutes or until the cream hardens.
- Cool the cake, then slice and serve. If desired, you can also add a little grated chocolate.
