Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack., For frosting, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in orange marmalade and confectioners' sugar. Spread over cake. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven at 180oC/350oC/Gas 4.
• Break 2 eggs into a large top jar/container with a tight fitting lid. Seal and shake 10 times.
• Add, sugar, oil, orange juice, seal and shake 20 more times or until blended.
• Add, self raising flour, baking powder, salt, seal and shake 50 more times or until smooth.
• Pour into square cake pan (8 x 8 inch) and bake for 20 minutes or until cake comes away from the sides or until skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre of the cake.
• Ice with your favourite icing/frosting or sprinkle icing sugar.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons (45 grams) butter. Add the brown sugar and lemon juice; stir until sugar melts, about 3 minutes. Scrape mixture into bottom of prepared pan.
• Grate 1/2 teaspoon zest from one of the oranges, then slice off the tops and bottoms of both oranges. Place oranges on a clean, flat surface, and slice away the rind and pith, top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit. Slice each orange crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick wheels; discard any seeds. Arrange orange wheels on top of brown sugar mixture in a single, tight layer.
• In a large bowl, whisk together orange zest, cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together remaining 2 sticks (225 grams) butter with granulated sugar. Beat in eggs, one a time, then beat in sour cream and vanilla. Fold in the dry mixture by hand.
• Scrape batter into pan over oranges. Transfer to oven and bake until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool cake in pan 10 minutes, then run a knife along pan's edges to loosen it; invert onto a platter and cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• Uncover the orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the crust. Cover the bottom of an 8-by-2-inch springform pan with a layer of vanilla wafers (see Tip). Break up cookies to fill any big holes.
• Using a soup spoon, scoop small, alternating spoonfuls of the orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream and place them randomly on top of the cookies (imprecision is good here). Gently press the ice cream down with the back of the spoon and tap the pan on the counter to fill in the pan and remove any air bubbles. Continue until you've used all the ice cream, then spread the top into an even layer. To create decorative swoops on top, press down into the cake with the back of the spoon and move it up and out in circular motions to create swirls and peaks all over.
• Cover the cake with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or up to 1 week. To serve, quickly rub the side and bottom of the pan with a warm, moistened kitchen towel to loosen. Unmold the springform and transfer the cake to a serving plate.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the orange juice, water, orange peel and almond extract. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. , Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. , For the frosting, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter and enough orange juice to achieve spreading consistency. Frost cake.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the pan: Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Butter the parchment.
• Transfer the orange chunks and milk to a high-speed blender (or food processor) and process until it is the texture of smooth applesauce. (You should have about 1 generous cup.)
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed.
• Add half the flour mixture and beat just until combined. Beat in the orange mixture, then beat in the remaining flour mixture. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool for 20 minutes. Then, using the parchment, transfer the cake to a rack to cool completely.
• While the cake cools, prepare the glaze, if using: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, orange zest and orange juice. (Use a little less juice for a thicker glaze that will sit on top of the cake, or add a little more juice for a thinner glaze that will soak into the cake.)
• Spread the glaze over the cooled cake, then slice to serve. Store leftovers well-wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days.
