In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually add the sunflower seed oil and orange juice, mixing well.

Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 26 cm mold. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once the cake has cooled, spread a thin layer of jam on top and sprinkle with desiccated coconut for extra flavor and texture.
