Ingredients:

  • 1-3/4 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 3 cups cake flour
  • 2-1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup 2% milk
  • filling:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp plus 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 2/3 cup orange juice
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • syrup:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • frosting:
  • 4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in orange juice and peel. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
  2. Transfer to two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  3. For filling, in a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in orange juice and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from the heat.
  4. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat; gently stir in the lemon juice, orange peel and salt. Cool to room temperature without stirring. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  5. For syrup, in a small saucepan, bring the sugar, water and orange juice to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Remove from the heat; stir in extract. Cool.
  6. For frosting, in a large bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients; beat until smooth.
  7. Cut each cake horizontally into two layers. Place bottom layer on a serving plate; brush with 2 tablespoons syrup and spread with 1/3 cup filling. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining cake layer; brush with remaining syrup. Frost top and sides of cake. Yield: 16 servings.
