In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Add to the wet ingredients alternately with the orange juice, beating until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool completely before assembling.

To make the filling, beat the orange marmalade and 2 egg whites together until stiff peaks form.

Altenative filling avoiding egg whites - Mix (chopped) pecans with the marmalade.

To assemble the cake:

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread with the orange marmalade filling.

Top with the second cake layer and finish with the remaining orange marmalade filling.

Optional:

For a thicker frosting, you can beat 1/2 cup of powdered sugar into the orange marmalade filling before spreading it on the cake.

You can also garnish the cake with orange slices and candied orange peel.

Enjoy!
