**In a bowl, stir and toss together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
***In another bowl, beat the sugar and oil with an electric mixer, add finely greated lemon zest and greated orange zest, cut the lemon and orange and squeeze half inside the bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
****Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture along with the milk. Beat until blended (with low speed) and smooth. Pour the batter inside the pan and bake, 45-50 min. (until a toothpick comes out clean)
