Comment préparer Esther's Orange Marmalade Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour three 9-inch round baking pans.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 2 cups granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 4 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons orange zest, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat until well combined.
  5. Add 4 large eggs and 4 large egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, alternating with 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
  7. Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cakes cool in pans for 20 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
  10. **Prepare the Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup orange juice and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  11. Once cakes are completely cool, poke holes all over each layer with a fork.
  12. Drizzle syrup evenly over each cake layer.
  13. **Prepare the Frosting:** In a large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream and 1/4 cup powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  14. Gently fold in 1 cup sour cream.
  15. **Assemble the Cake:** Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread 1/3 of your prepared orange marmalade over the top.
  16. Repeat with the second cake layer and another 1/3 of the marmalade.
  17. Top with the final cake layer.
  18. Spread the remaining marmalade over the top of the cake, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border.
  19. Frost the sides and the border of the cake with the sour cream frosting.
  20. Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
