    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a 9-inch (20 cm) cake pan.

    2

    In a saucepan over low heat, melt the granulated sugar until it becomes a golden-brown caramel. Pour the caramel into the bottom of the cake pan and spread evenly.

    3

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, then whisk in the milk, heavy cream, flour, vanilla extract, and grated orange zest.

    4

    Pour the mixture into the caramel-lined pan and place it in a deep baking dish.

    5

    Pour hot water into the baking dish to create a water bath, ensuring the water reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is just set.

    6

    Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Then, invert onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel to become the topping.

    7

    Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar.
