Oven Temp ~ 350°
Baking Time ~ 30 - 40 Min.
Pan Type ~ three 9-inch cake |
Preheat oven, grease and
flour cake pans. Cream
butter or shortening with sugar. Add egg yolks and orange rind; mix well.
Combine sifted flour with salt and baking powder. Alternate adding flour
mixture and orange juice and water to the creamed mixture in several
additions, mixing well each time, but do not over beat.
Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold egg whites and coconut into batter. Pour
into prepared pans and bake until cake springs back when lightly touched and
is light golden brown. Cool.
Filling,
Mix sugar and flour (or cornstarch) in top of a double boiler
(or bowl set over pan of simmering water). Stir in orange juice, lemon
juice, water and egg yolks. Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly,
until thick, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, add butter and orange rind
and stir until butter is incorporated. Cool to room temperature, then chill.
Spread chilled filling on two layers of the cooled cake, stacking to form
a three-layer cake.
Orange Icing
Place butter and milk in double boiler over simmering water until
butter is melted. In a separate large bowl, place sugar. Very gradually pour
milk mixture over sugar, mixing well, until a smooth, spreading consistency
is reached. Add rind and lemon extract (or juice). If icing gets too stiff,
add a little warm water. When proper consistency is reached, spread over top
and sides of cake.
