How to make Fresh Orange Cake

Ingredients
For the cake
200g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 large eggs
200g unsalted butter, softened
200g golden caster sugar
2 tbsp whole milk
Grated zest of 1 large unwaxed orange
2 tsp Sicilian orange extract
12 mini orange jelly slices, to decorate
For the filling
280g full-fat cream cheese
50g unsalted butter
500g icing sugar, sifted
Grated zest of 1 large unwaxed orange
You will need
20cm round cake tins x 2, greased, then base-lined with baking paper
Piping bag fitted with a 1cm round nozzle
Method
Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/ Gas 4. Sift the flour and baking powder together into a large bowl. Add the eggs, butter, sugar, milk, orange zest and orange extract and beat everything together until the mixture is smooth.
Spoon half the sponge mixture into each prepared tin and level the surface with a palette knife. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cakes are firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and leave the cakes to cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and peel off the paper. Leave to cool completely.
Meanwhile, make the filling. Beat the cream cheese and butter together in a bowl until just incorporated, then beat in the icing sugar and orange zest until thick and smooth.
Use 1/2 the filling mixture to sandwich the two sponges together, then spread 1/4 of the remaining filling over the top. Spoon the remaining 1/4 into a piping bag fitted with a 1cm round nozzle and pipe 12 evenly spaced blobs around the edge of the cake. Top each blob with an orange jelly slice.
