Method

1
Grease and sugar a cake pan (capacity 1.8 l).
2
Cream the room-temperature butter, sugar, and grated orange zest together until soft and fluffy.
3
Add the room-temperature eggs to the creamed mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4
Mix the baking powder into the wheat flour. Add the flour mixture to the batter and stir until smooth. Fold in the orange juice.
5
Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface. Bake at 175 degrees on the bottom rack of the oven for about 45 minutes. Check if the cake is done with a toothpick. Invert the cake onto a rack after it has cooled slightly.
6
Cut the completely cooled cake horizontally into two layers. Place the bottom layer onto a serving platter. Moisten both cut surfaces with the orange juice.
7
Whip the cream and sugar until soft peaks form. Stir in the cream cheese. Transfer the filling into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
8
Peel one orange with a knife, removing all the white pith, and cut into skinless segments. Halve the segments. Cut the other orange in half lengthwise and slice one of the halves into thin slices.
9
Spread the orange marmalade over the cut surface of the bottom layer. Pipe 2/3 of the cream cheese whipped cream evenly over the base. Spoon passion fruit pulp over the filling and decorate with the skinless orange segments and raspberries. Carefully place the top cake layer on top.
10
Pipe the remaining cream cheese whipped cream over the top layer. Decorate with orange slices and passion fruit pulp.
