Meanwhile make the filling by beating all the ingredients together until smoth and creamy.
Next made the icing by adding enough orange juice to the

Cake de Pascua de Resurrección

Ya no pensaba hacer nada para Pascua pero como mi mamá y mi papá estaban de aniversario de matrimonio pensé en hacer algo y salió esta torta decorada de Easter.
(como mi mamá ha estado enferma quise hacerle algo especial)
Obviamente es una torta que se puede hacer en cualquier fecha no sólo ahora.
Como va rellena con crema de naranja a los niños les encanta.
El bizcocho es más simple de los que hacemos siempre (con las claras batidas aparte) pero queda muy rica.
Feliz Pascua de Resurrección para todos!!
