I've got some cheese cream frosting leftovers, so i decided to get a bit creative by making a lemon orange cake. Too lazy to search for new recipe, i'm using my lemon cupcake recipe and add a little bit this and that :D I promise next time i'll make lemon cake using the proper recipe. But hey, everybody in the house likes the cake. So,.. yeay!Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/3 plain flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 tbsp orange juice
- 1/2 cup lemon zest
- 1/3 cup full cream milk
- 2 tbsp orange preserves
- 2 tsp lemon juice
For the frosting:
- 5 tbsp cream cheese
- 1/2 stick butter
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 tbsp Betty Crocker's Rich & Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting (too add more flavour)
After the cake is baked for about 25 minutes in the oven, cool it on the cooling rack for 30 minutes or more. Cut the cake in half with serrated knife and then spread the orange preserve that has been mixed with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and a pinch of lemon zests. Assemble the cake so the lemon orange preserves is in the middle. Decorate the top side of the cake with cream cheese frosting. Serve it on a Sunday afternoon, accompanied by tea or milk, and of course... a good laugh with friends :) Happy Sunday!
