Orange Cake

I propose a very beautiful and elegant cake, not to mention tasty. You'll see, you can't go wrong with these combinations.

I really liked the method of mounting the cake. However, I simplified the filling and used my favorite sponge cake. In addition to the recipe below, I recommend arranging some oranges in the middle. And, if you like the sponge more moist, sprinkle with orange syrup.

Ingredients
Egg
5 pieces

Sugar

Prepare the sponge cake following the Sponge Cake Recipe. Let sit for at least 8 hours to infuse and be able to cut faster.

Or use your own recipe or just buy the sponge cake.

Step 3

Slice the cake in half - two layers, each about 1 cm thick.

Cut away about 1 cm from the sides, in order for the cake to fit in the pan, along with the filling and the orange slices. Measure and cut so that the diameter of the cake is about 1 -1.5 cm smaller than that of the pan.

Step 12

Top with the remaining filling. Cover with cling and refrigerate for 4-5 hours, in order for the filling to harden. It's even better overnight, this way the cake is settled for sure.

Step 13

After this time, remove the cling, the sides of the pan and carefully turn the cake over onto a plate. You can see the result in the picture :)

Although it's possible to use other fruits, I like it in two colors. It's much more elegant and neat.
