LAMBADA - FAMOUS ORANGE/VANILLA CREAMY CAKE

Lambada - in addition to the famous song and dance, this cake of the same name awakens my childhood memories. I remember when I was little, my mom used to make this cake very often. Now I haven't eaten this for a long time, so I must admit I forgot about it a little.

I don't know how it got its name, but I sure know it's a delicious cake worth making.

• 5 eggs 
• 9 tablespoons sugar
