Equipment

  • 1 9” springform pan
  • Parchment paper
  • 1 large serving plate

Ingredients

  • 5 Large eggs room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sugar 175 g
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp orange extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour sifted 180 g
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 1/2 cups heavy cream 600 ml
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk 120 ml
  • Strawberry Jam for assembly
  • Mixed fresh berries to decorate

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165C)
  • Cut a piece of parchment paper into a 9 inch circle so that it fits perfectly into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Trim a little more if needed. Butter the pan sides and all then place the parchment in and butter it as well.
  • Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whisk the eggs, vanilla, orange extract, and sugar for 6-8 minutes until it forms stiff peaks when the whisk is removed. Now sift the flour and baking powder into the egg mixture and using a rubber spatula, gently fold it into the batter until just combined.
  • Next, pour the batter into the prepared pan and place onto a sheet tray. Place into the oven on the middle rack and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden brown. Once done, remove and allow the cake to cool completely.
  • Now, clean that bowl and whisk and reattach them to the stand mixer. Add the heavy cream, salt, and confectioners sugar. Whisk on medium speed for 3 minutes or until stif peaks form. Place in the fridge to hold until the cake is cooled.
