Blueberry Creamcheese Orange Sponge Cake

This is another birthday cake for a beautiful new mom . She gave birth to a beautiful baby gal early this year. I think all woman especially mom deserve all special treat in their special day.

Am wondering what to bake for her . When it come to cake is always individual preference. Some love a soft moist cake , some love dense mud cake style. To me is always the soft moist cake I yield for .I knew she love blueberry , yet I do not want to bake a blueberry muffin ( as it seem the easiest for me to follow) for her as a birthday cake. So searching through recipe , I have to adapt some recipe and come out with this ->Blueberry CreamCheese Cake .

The recipe was modify and adapt from ->Table for 2 or more.

Orange Sponge Cake

Yolk batter
5 egg yolks
15gm sugar
35gm vegetable oil
35gm orange juice
1 Tbsp orange zest
70gm cake flour
1/4 tsp baking powder

Meringue
5 egg whites
35gm sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar

Preheat oven at 160(fan)/180C. Prepare an 7 inch square pan. Line the base only.
2. Prepare yolk batter. Combine all the wet ingredients + sugar + lemon zest. Sift cake flour + baking powder together and combine with everything until a smooth batter forms.
3. Prepare meringue. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks and beat in sugar gradually until stiff peaks form (hooked peak).
4. Prepare final batter. Fold ¼ of meringue into yolk batter until well combined. Repeat with another ¼. Pour the yolk batter into remaining meringue and fold until well combined (Fold not stir and it should look very foamy). Pour batter into prepared pan.
5. Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes or until done. Remove from oven and let the cake totally cool before removing cake from pan. (If it’s a springform pan, you can skip lining the base and then invert the pan to cool for better volume)
6. Slice cake into 3 slices and fill with blueberry creamcheese(recipe below) and chilled at least 2 hour before serve


Note :For this cake I only used 2 layer ,I freeze 1 layer and used it for other cake .
