Cooking Recipes Ingredients:
Butter room temperature 1 c
Sugar 1 1/4 c
Orange zest 1 T
Vanilla 1 t
Eggs room temperature 6 ea
Flour 1 1/2 c
Baking powder 1 t
Orange juice 1/4 c

Cooking Recipes Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour three cake pans. Sift
together flour and baking powder well. In a mixing bowl, beat butter
and sugar together on medium-high speed until fluffy and light,
about 3-5 minutes. Add orange zest and vanilla and beat in 15 seconds
more. With mixer at medium speed, add one egg at a time, letting
each egg incorporate before adding the next. Turn mixer to medium-low.
Add flour in three parts, alternating with the orange juice until
smooth. Don't over beat. Spoon equal parts of batter into the three
cake pans. Bake for about 25 minutes. Remove cakes and cool completely.
Mix the marmalade with a little water and stir till almost pour-able.
Spread half the marmalade over one of the layers. Add the next layer
on top and spread with the other half of the marmalade. Top with
the last layer. Sprinkle the cake well with powdered sugar through
a sieve and serve.
