Step-by-Step Method
Prepare Orange Sauce
In a saucepan, whisk orange juice, cornstarch, and sugar together. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, then let it cool.
Make the Cake Batter
Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy. Add milk, oil, vanilla, baking powder, and orange zest, then mix in flour gradually on low speed.
Bake the Cake
Pour batter into a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spread evenly, and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes. Let it cool.
Shape the Cake
Use a round cutter or glass to cut circles from the cooled cake. Pulse leftover pieces into fine crumbs.
Prepare the Cream
Prepare the pastry cream according to package instructions or whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
Moisten and Arrange Cakes
Place cake rounds on a serving tray and lightly brush each with milk to moisten.
Fill and Garnish
Pipe cream into the center of each cake, spoon orange sauce on top, add white chocolate pieces, then cover with remaining cream.
Cover with Crumbs
Press cake crumbs around each cake’s exterior. Chill briefly before serving.
