How to get rid of an offset while turning a figure with rotating?

Question

I have a wide picture that I'd like to turn at 90 degrees, but when I use the sidewaysfigure environment of the rotating package, I get an offset and the figure is shifted on the side of the page. Here is my MWE:

\documentclass[referee]{svjour3}
\usepackage{showframe}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{graphicx} 
\usepackage{siunitx}
        \sisetup{detect-all, %
        separate-uncertainty = true}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\renewcommand{\textfraction}{0.15}
\renewcommand{\topfraction}{0.85}
\renewcommand{\bottomfraction}{0.65}
\renewcommand{\floatpagefraction}{0.60}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-2]

\noindent
\begin{sidewaysfigure}[p]
\includegraphics[width=1.0\textwidth]{myfigure} 
\caption{Caption of the large rotated figure}
\label{fig:largefig}
\end{sidewaysfigure}

\lipsum[3-4]
\end{document}

I tried many things, including \raisebox, but didn't find a satisfactory solution. The class svjour3 is a class provided by Springer for the journal I want to submit my paper to.

The figure myfigure used in the MWE could be something produced by:

\documentclass[border = 0.5cm]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[fill=orange] (0,0) rectangle (20,10)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

or anything more complicated

You can try to use the package adjustbox instead as suggested here.

                    it has to be wrapped over multiple lines, but should 
                    not exceed the width (height after the rotation) of the image.
                }\end{minipage}},rotate=90,center}
            \includegraphics[scale=1]{example-image}%
        \end{adjustbox}
    \end{figure}

    \lipsum[3-4]
\end{document}
