For the dough, mix fat, 200 g sugar and salt until creamy. Stir in the eggs one after the other. Mix flour and baking powder, alternately stir in 100 g cream. Grease a springform pan (26 cm Ø), fill in the dough and smooth it down. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 25-35 minutes (stick test). Let cool on a cake rack. Remove the base from the pan, cut in half horizontally once. Place a cake ring around the lower cake base.

Soak the gelatine in cold water. Stir curd, sour cream, 100 g sugar and orange juice until smooth. Squeeze the gelatine, dissolve carefully. Stir a little cream into the gelatine, then stir everything into the rest of the cream. Beat 250 g cream until stiff, fold into the cream. Pour approx. 2/3 of the cream onto the lower base and smooth it down. Place the upper cake layer on top. Spread the rest of the cream on top. Chill for at least 3 hours. Wash the oranges and grate them dry. Peel oranges so that the white skin is completely removed. Put the peel aside. Cut oranges into thin slices. Knead marzipan with icing sugar and food colouring. Roll out on a work surface dusted with icing sugar.
