Orange cream filling (for sponge cake)
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ¾ | cup | Sugar |
| 2 | tablespoons | Flour |
| 1 | dash | Salt |
| ½ | cup | Orange Juice |
| Grated Rind Of 1 Orange | ||
| 1 | Egg, well beaten | |
| 1 | pint | Heavy Cream |
Directions
Mix sugar, flour, and salt. Stir into well beaten egg. Add orange juice and rind. Cook in top of double boiler until quite thick. Chill (will be VERY thick!)
Whip cream until soft peaks form. Add a generous spoonful of the whipped cream to the orange custard, stir in well to soften the custard somewhat, then add the orange mixture to the remaining whipped cream and fold in until well blended.
Fill and frost a 9" hot milk sponge cake with this. The flavours blend better if you let it stand, refrigerated, for several hours before serving.
