First the butter must be at room temperature, it is beaten with the sugar. The shake can be done with an electric mixer (until the sugar dissolves and is integrated with the butter), it can also be beaten by hand.
To this preparation, add the zest of an orange, only the part of the color of the peel, and one by one add the eggs, which must also be at room temperature so that the creaming is not cut, and beat again for a couple of minutes until you get a cream.
On the other hand, put the milk on the fire with the yerba mate, heat it until it boils and let it rest for a few seconds. Then this preparation is strained.
Half of this infusion is placed in the mixture of butter with sugar and eggs and is beaten again. In addition, half of the dry products are added: flour and baking powder or leavening flour, and salt. With a spatula, all the ingredients are integrated in an enveloping way so as not to generate gluten, it should not be kneaded. Then the remaining half of the infusion and the dry products are added to the preparation, and the same procedure is done with the spatula.
