- 3 cups cake flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups granulated white sugar
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, (at room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 large pasteurized egg yolk ((see recipes Notes below))
- 16 ounces powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round pans.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the sugar, shortening, eggs and orange zest at high speed for 3 minutes. Beat in the flour mixture a little at a time, alternating with orange juice and milk, beating after each addition until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool, and then frost with orange buttercream frosting.
Use an electric mixer to combine the butter, zest, salt and egg yolk in a medium bowl. Add the sugar alternately with orange juice beating until of spreading or piping consistency.
