Spirited Syrup - recipe follows3/4 c granulate sugar 1 t grated orange peel 1/2 c orange juice 1/2 ts grated lemon peel 2 tb lemon juice 1/8 ts ground cinnamon 2 tb to 3 T rum 1 t vanilla Cake: 2 large eggs 1/2 c sugar 3/4 c all-purpose flour 1 1/2 ts baking powder 2 ts grated orange peel 1/4 c butter or margarine, melted Orange segments Mint sprigs
Directions:
Syrup: In small pan, mix sugar, orange peel, juice, lemon peel, lemon juice and cinnamon. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil, stirring, just until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool; then stir in rum and vanilla. Combine eggs and sugar and beat until thick and lemon colored. Add flour, baking powder, orange peel and butter; beat until well blended. Spread batter in a greased, floured 9-inch cake pan with a removable rim. Bake in a 375-degree oven until cake just begins to pull away from sides of pan and center springs back when lightly pressed (about 20 minutes). Set warm cake in pan or on a rack; set rack over a plate to catch any drips. Pierce cake all over with a fork. Slowly pour Spirited Syrup over cake; let cool. Just before serving, remove pan rim. Garnish cake with orange segments; if desired, and mint sprigs. | |
