Orange & Coconut Cake Recipe
just thought I would share this recipe with you today, as cooking is another of my creative passions!
Ingredients: 125 grams butter, three quarters cup sugar, 2 eggs, 2 cups self raising flour, half cup coconut, two thirds cup orange juice, grated rind of one orange, pinch of salt
Method: cream butter, sugar and orange rind, add egg yolks and beat well. fold in flour sifted with pinch of salt alternating with orange juice and coconut. lastly fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. bake in a moderate over 50-60 minutes. allow to stand in tin 10 minutes before turning out.
Icing: 2 cups sifted icing sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, quarter cup orange juice. Rub butter into icing sugar, grate 1 teaspoon orange and lemon rind, soaked in orange juice for 10 minutes, drain off liquid add juice slowly and beat well until mixture is creamy.
I suggest under-cooking cake slightly, for a moist finish. Guarantee it won't last the day! Enjoy
