[Sca-cooks] Victoria Sponge Cake--OOP OT

[Elaine Koogler]

Yeah!  Did a similar thing when I got married the second time...I have an
orange fruit cake recipe (sort of a yellow cake with grated orange zest,
orange juice, pineapple preserves, dates and nuts...glazed with a mixture of
orange juice, light rum and confectioner's sugar, and a topping of grated
orange zest) that I used for my wedding cake...decorated the cake stand with
orange blossoms.  It looked spiffy and was much better than the standard
yellow cake we get served down here at weddings!
