Ingredients
1 ½ cups unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus some for greasing the pan
3 cups flour, plus some for dusting the pan
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 ½ teaspoons grated orange zest

Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a cake pan, 12 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep; dust it with flour.
- Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and well blended. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated. Add the flour, a little at a time, until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract, orange extract and zest.
- Step 3
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for one hour to one hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Remove and cool. Unmold, sprinkle with powdered sugar and garnish with sprigs of mint. Serve with whipped cream on the side.
