What you need

  • 250g unsalted butter, cubed and softened

How to make it

  1. BEAT butter and sugar using an electric mixer for 3 minutes or until mixture is light and fluffy. Add PHILLY and beat slowly until combined. Add rind, 1 tablespoon Cointreau and eggs, one egg at a time, beating well after each addition.

  4. COMBINE extra sugar, extra rind and juice, water and remaining Cointreau in a saucepan and simmer until sugar has dissolved and liquid is reduced by half. Pour syrup over cooled cake and serve with pouring cream.
