Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in orange peel. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with water and orange juice.
  2. Pour into 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. In a small saucepan, stir flour and milk until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from the heat; cool to lukewarm.
  4. In a small bowl, cream the shortening, sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Add cooled milk mixture; beat on high speed for 5 minutes or until fluffy. Remove about 2/3 cup; fold in nuts. Spread between cake layers.
  5. Gradually add confectioners' sugar to remaining filling; beat until fluffy. Frost top and sides of cake. Yield: 12 servings.
