Orange Torte

New York Times Magazine
Yield: 4 - 6 servings

6 eggs at room temperature
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
Grated peel and juice of 1 large orange, about 1/3 cup
Confectioners' sugar

Preheat oven to 325o. Beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the sugar until the mixture is very thick and lemon-colored. Fold in the flour and the rind and juice and pour into a 15 by 10 by 1-inch buttered jelly-roll pan lined with well buttered parchment paper. Bake 35 minutes or until golden and set. Turn out onto a towel sprinkled with confectioners' sugar and roll up like a jelly roll. Cool but do not chill. Serve in thick slices. The torte holds its shape, but is custardy in texture.
