Beat orange mixture with butter until well combined. Beat in eggs one at a time. It may not look very smooth, but this is not a problem. Stir in sifted flour and mix in cream and lemon juice. Pour mixture into a greased cake tin and bake in preheated oven for about 50 - 60 minutes.

Remove cake from oven and after 5 minutes unmould onto a cake rack to cool.

Spread cake with Orange and Grand Marnier icing or simply dust with icing sugar.

Orange and Grand Marnier Icing: Melt butter with grated orange zestand remove from heat when just melted.

Mix butter preparation with sifted icing and slowly stir in Grand Marnier.

Stop stirring when the icing is a spreadable consistency. You may not need all of it.
