Whirl orange chunks in a food processor until mostly smooth but not pureed. Add 1 1/2 cups of the orange mixture to the batter and beat until it's completely blended. Add flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder to the bowl and beat until smooth. Spread the batter in the prepared pan.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with only a few crumbs clinging to it, usually it takes about 55 minutes in the oven. Cool the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely.
