i would love to have the recipe for the orange cake that Julia made on the show. and the frosting.
Here is the recipe from The Silver Palate Cookbook (Page 297 not 359). Page 359 is part of the index.
ORANGE CAKE
8 tablespoons (1 stick) sweet butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs, separated
grated zest of 2 oranges
1-1/2 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoonn salt
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
Orange Glaze (recipe follows)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 10-inch bundt pan.
2. Cream the butter and gradually add the sugar, beating until
light. Beat in egg yoke, one at a time, and the orage zest.
3. Sift the flour with baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add
dry ingredients alternately with the orage juice to the batter.
4. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the batter.
5. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 30 to 35
minutes, or until sides of cake shrink away from edges of pan
and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool for 10 minutes in pan, unmold onto a rack and drizzle
with Orange glaze while warm. Cool before serving.
