Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 2 cups of all purpose flour
• 2 tsp. of vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup of orange juice or pinapple juice
• 2 cups of butter
• 2 cups of sugar
• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 4 eggs
• less than a 1/3 of a lemon peel.
• 1 can of condensed milk
• Non-stick baking spray

1. Mixed the butter & sugar until it is creamy. Add the eggs one by one. Slowly add the orange juice, the vanilla extract & a bit if rum (if you like)& the lemon peel. Slowly add the flour to the mixing. Mix until the flour is creamy.
2. Take a round pan & butter it all around with the non-stick spray & a bit of flour. Pour the mixing into the pan & put the oven to 350 degrees. Let it cook for 45 minutes to an hour. In order to determine if the cake is done, poke it gently with a knife-if it comes out clean with no batter/residue, then the cake is done. When done, take the cake out the oven & set the cake to cool.
3. To make the frosting: you will need 5 egg whites and 1 cup of sugar. Mix until the frosting is very thick. As a cake filler you can spread either caramel, condensed milk, or fruit spreads e.g: guava, or pineapple in the middle of the cake, then decorate it with the frosting.
