FILLED ORANGE CAKE

Fylld apelsinkaka

1 cake

5.3 oz butter or margarine

1.2 cup sugar

2 large eggs

grated zest from ½ orange

0.4 cup regular milk

1.6 cups flour

2 teaspoon baking powder

Filling:

3½ oz butter or margarine

1 cup powdered sugar

1 egg yolk

fresh juice from 1 lemon

grated zest from ½ lemon

Decoration:

1 cup powdered sugar

approx 1½ tablespoons fresh orange juice

skinless orange wedges

lemon balm

Preheat oven to 347F.

Stir butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one by one, while beating continuously. Mix flour with baking powder and grated orange zest. Stir it into the egg batter together with milk and mix to a smooth batter. Pour in a greased, floured baking pan, diameter approx 10 inches. Bake in the lower part of the oven for about 50 minutes or until the cake is nicely colored and dry. Leave for a few minutes in the pan before unmoulding and is allowed to cool on a rack.

Stir all ingredients together for the filling until you have a fluffy, lovely yellow creme. Split the cake in two layers and spread the orange creme on one of the layers. Put the other layer on top. Stir powdered sugar with orange juice and spread this icing over the cake. Leave to set. Decorate with skinless orange wedges and some lemon balm.

Enjoy!
