Orange Cake
The cakes in our modern American bakeries are beautifully decorated with piped flowers, leaves and birds. What a shame that the taste never equals the appearance as the frosting consists of only flavored lard and powdered sugar. (You could not get our father to eat that stuff.) Italian cakes generally are not so eye catching, thank God, but they have a delicate taste. They are smaller and meant to be eaten at one meal and so do not have the truly awful American frosting which is used to keep larger cakes from drying out for the several days it takes to fully consume them.

1/2 cup sugar, orange flavored if you have it on hand
2 eggs separated
juice of one orange
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup almonds ground fresh in hand held food processor
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon white rum
  • Butter and 8 inch cake pan.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Sift flour, baking powder and salt together.
  • Beat sugar and egg yolks together until foamy.
  • Beat in orange juice, almonds, sifted flour mixture, orange juice, orange extract, and rum.
  • Beat egg white until stiff and form peaks.
  • Fold into egg yolk mixture.
  • Pour into cake pan.
  • Bake 30 minutes.
  • Serve with whipped cream sprinkled with bits of candied orange peel.

    Enjoy with our 2005 Glissando.
