Orange Birthday Cake from JoyC
1/2 cup Mazola
1 cup sugar
1 egg
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon orange extract
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup Argo or Kingsford's Cornstarch
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Pour the Mazola into a bowl, add the sugar and the egg and egg yolks,
beaten creamy. Cream till all the graininess has disappeared, and add
the extract and salt. Sift together the flour, cornstarch and baking powder
and add alternately to the first mixture, with milk. Beat two or three
minutes, transfer to a tube pan lightly oiled with Mazola, and bake forty-five
minutes in a moderately hot oven, 350° to 375°F. Cool, brush off
the crumbs and decorate with Ornamental Icing. Fill the "hole"
in the center with tiny favors or with fresh flowers. Put the cake on
a small tray covered with a paper doily, and wreathe with flowers.
Beverage:
Pineapple
Sparkle Punch
2 46 oz cans pineapple
juice
3 cups orange juice
1 1/2 cups lemon juice
1/3 cup lime juice
2 1/3 cups sugar
ice
4 liters ginger ale, chilled
2 liters of carbonated water, chilled
orange and lime slices (optional)
Combine juices and
sugar and chill several hours. Just before serving place juice mixture
and ice in a large punch bowl. Carefully pour ginger ale and carbonated
water and add fruitslices for garnish. Now two different ways for this
punch...one you can freeze thefirst part and then thaw in punch bowls
a couple hours and then add gingerale and carbonated water. Freeze in
smaller portions and then it thaws quickly andyou can thaw only enough
for one pitcher etc. Makes 75 servings.
Ice Ring Tip:
Take a bundt pan and fill it partially with the gingerale andthen float
the fruit slices. Freeze. When ready to serve punch, float the ringin
the punch, as it dissolves it won't be watery, but will add flavor to
the punch.
Note: For smaller servings, recipe can be cut in half.

JoyC's
gifts for GOF
Though special
times like birthdays
seem the nicest ones by far
to tell you very lovingly
how wonderful you are
You surely know you're cared for a lot
each day the whole year through
And are always wished the special things
that mean the most to you.
