Orange Layer Cake

Adapted from the book Y3K


I kept eating this cake.It was a little sweet/Perhaps I should less the condensed milk or sugar next time.My husband kept eating this too.It was nice!nice! and yum!yam!,but look at the egg yolks.Health conscious people are advised not to eat this a lot.



Ingredients:

A) 350g butter,60g castor sugar
     1/2 can sweetened condensed milk(194g)
     1/2 can kaya(150g)

B) 18 egg yolks,1 tbsp cake emulsifier(ovalette)

C)  140g Hong Kong flour/superfine flour

D)  3 tbsps orange jam, 1 tsp orange essence
      1 tsp orange colouring

Method:

1.Beat ingredients (A) till light and fluffy.

2.In a separate bowl,beat ingredient (B) till creamy.

3.Fold no.(1) and no.(2) together.

4.Mix in ingredients (C) and divide cake mixture into two portions.To the first portion,add in      ingredient(D) and let the second portion natural.

5.Grease and line an 8 inches square baking tin.Scoop 1 ladle of orange coloured cake mixture into cake tin.Level it and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degree celcius on the upper shelf.Check before five minutes is up for the first few layers as different ovens have different heat.Remove whole cake tin.

6.Place a piece of parchment paper on top of baked surface.Use a metal flattener ,press surface all over to remove trapped air bubbles.

7.Scoop in one ladle of uncoloured cake mixture,level it and bake for about 5 minutes.

8.Continue to alternate the two mixtures till ingredients are used up.


Instead of metal flattener ,I used the base of a flat glass.
