1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

3. Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
4. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Once the cake has cooled, frost it generously with the whipped cream mixture.
7. Garnish with fresh orange zest and orange segments.
