Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
sifted powdered sugar
Orange Whipped Cream
3 Tablespoons orange liqueur
orange slices -- garnish
mint -- garnish
raspberries -- garnish
Grease & lightly flour a 15x10x1" baking pan, set aside. Stir
together flour, baking powder & salt; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on high speed 4
minutes or until thick. Gradually beat in granulated sugar, beating
on medium speed 4-5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add orange
juice & extract; beat on low to medium speed until combined. Add
flour mixture, beat on low speed just until combined. Pour batter
into prepared pan.
Bake in a 375 degree F oven 15 minutes or until cake springs back
when it is lightly touched. Immediately loosen edges of cake from
pan; turn cake out onto a towel sprinkled with powdered
sugar. Transfer towel and cake to wire rack; cool. Prepare Orange
Whipped Cream.
Cut cake crosswise into three 10x5" rectangles. Brush top of each
rectangle with some of the liqueur. Place one cake rectangle on
platter. Top with 1 cup Orange Whipped Cream. Add another cake
rectangle top with 1 cup Cream. Add last cake layer. Frost top and
sides of cake with remaining Cream. Cover; chill 4 hours or up to 24
hours. Garnish with orange slices, fresh raspberries and mint, if
desired. Serves 12.
ORANGE WHIPPED CREAM: Grate 1/4 teaspoon orange peel; set aside. In
a medium saucepan combine 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour and dash
salt. In bowl, stir together 3 egg yolks, 1/2 cup orange juice, and
1 TBSP lemon juice. Whisk yolk mixture into sugar mixture in
pan. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and
bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 1 minute more. Remove from
heat. The mixture will be thick and will thicken more as it
cools. Stir in orange peel. Ste pan in a bowl of ice water; stir
occasionally until cool.
In chilled bowl, beat 1 1/2 cups whipping cream with chilled beaters
of electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gently fold
in cooled egg yolk mixture; use immediately.
