Method

Grease two 20cm tins, line with parchment, and pre-heat oven to 180°C.

Beat butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, and zest in a bowl for two minutes.

Divide the batter between the tins and level the surfaces.

Bake for 25 minutes until golden and springy.

Cool in tins briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Mix filling ingredients and spread between the layers and over the top.

Decorate the cake with spiralled orange zest.
