And I was really pleased with how moist it was.  Moist, but light.  Maybe the curd soaking into it helped in that department.  {:o)

Thank you Goreti!   Wish I could share a piece with you...

I cannot tell you how much I want a slice of this.  Left all my leftover cake at my brother-in-laws because I don't want to eat too much cake.

Thanks you two!  I am learning that you can do a lot with just 1 little 6" cake!  So when a recipe does 3 6" cakes, I end up with 3 separate cakes.  And they are plenty tall on their own.  Next time I will try to just tort in half, instead of three, and stack using both cakes, to see just how tall 2 6" cakes will look.

The orange curd came out even better this time.  I used a little cornstarch, added to the cold liquids first, to thicken it, pureed all of the pulp, & left in all of the zest, instead of straining it out like I did the last time.  A little lumpy, but oh so flavorful!  Delish!  Took a small bowl of the leftovers to my sis, and they loved it too.

FYI!!  You do NOT have to comment on all my stuff!  This goes for all of you!  I am just loading them here to keep track of them properly. {:o)
