Beira Rotten Cake

• 2 eggs
• salt
• 1 3/4 cups brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons lard at room temperature
• 1 orange zest
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 7/8 cup milk

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Grease a cake pan with lard, and set aside.
3. In a bowl, mix the flour with baking powder and cinnamon. Set aside.
4. In another bowl, beat the eggs well with a pinch of salt.
5. Add the sugar, and mix again, thoroughly.
6. Add 1 tablespoon of lard and orange zest, and whisk again to a fluffy and uniform cream.
7. Add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk.
8. Stir with a spoon, but without beating. When well mixed, put the dough in the mold, and bake for 35 minutes.
9. Check for doneness with a toothpick , remove the cake from the oven, and unmold when warm.
10. This waiting time will allow the cake to get cheese-like on the inside, something typical of rotten cakes.
