Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour your tube or bundt pan.
Separate your 9 eggs into two bowls.
In the yolk bowl, use half the sugar, about 125 grams, and whisk with yolks until pale and fluffy.
Add the lemon zest, reserved lemon juice, and orange juice to the yolk mixture and blend well.
Mix the cake meal, potato starch, and salt. Stir into yolk mixture just till combined.
Beat egg whites with a mixer until soft peaks form.
Add the remaining sugar gradually to the egg whites and beat till stiff and glossy peaks form.
Gently fold egg whites into batter in three parts.
Pour batter into prepared pan and shake to even the batter.
Place pan on rack inside pressure cooker, add enough water to avoid touching the pan.
Seal the lid, cook on high heat until valve hisses, then reduce to low and cook for 30 minutes.
Let it naturally release before opening the lid, then remove your cake.
Notes
Serve as a Passover dessert with a lovely lemon-orange flavor. Great warm or at room temperature.
