    Take out of the oven and let rest in the mould for about 10 minutes. Remove from the mould and let it cool down on a cake rack. In the meantime squeeze an orange. Peel the remaining oranges so that the white skin is completely removed. Cut the oranges into slices. Put 9-10 nice slices aside for decoration. Cut the rest into small pieces. Cut the cake twice and sprinkle the bottoms with orange juice and liqueur. Place the edge of the springform pan around the lower cake base. Warm the jelly slightly, spread the bottom cake layer and cover with the remaining orange pieces. Cover with the second base. Whip 250 g cream, 20 g sugar and cream stiffener until stiff. Finally, stir in 1 heaped teaspoon of cinnamon. Spread the cinnamon cream on the second base and cover with the third base. Loosen the rim of the springform pan.
