Pour batter into two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans, dividing evenly.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.

Cool 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.

Frosting: Beat all ingredients together until smooth and creamy, adding enough cream to make a smooth spreading consistency.

Spread frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake.

Decorate with orange zest.

Hint: A little orange liqueur in the icing and drizzle over the cake layers before frosting makes a wonderful special occasion dessert.
