Instructions

1. Peel the orange, remove the white parts and cut it into pieces.
2. Dissolve the chickpea flour in the water, until it has the texture of a thin batter.
3. Mix the orange with the chickpea flour mixture, sugar, oil, cinnamon, flour and baking powder. Blend everything briefly.
4. Put it in a pan and bake at 180°C (350°F) in the preheated oven for about half an hour; a long, narrow pan will take a little longer. It's done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool before unmolding.
5. For the syrup, put the sugar with the juices in a saucepan and simmer over low heat until it thickens slightly.
6. Soak the cake with the syrup and wait until it's well absorbed.
