ORANGE COCONUT CAKE RECIPE



Here is a recipe for Orange Coconut Cake. It's from The Australian Women's Weekly Cookbooks and it's a Middle Eastern cake.

The ingredients are: 1 cup  sifted self-raising flour; 1 cup almond flour; 1 1/5 cups shredded coconut; 1 tablespoon grated orange rind; 4 eggs; 1/2 cup orange juice; 1/4 c sweet wine (I used Marsala); 2 teaspoons cinnamon powder; 1/4 teaspoon baking powder; 250 g. butter; 50 g. sugar. For the syrup you will need 1/4 cup orange juice and 3/4 cup sugar.

Mix the butter with the sugar, then add eggs one at a time. When well blended, add flour, almond flour, coconut, walnuts, cinnamon, baking powder. Mix well, then add orange juice and wine.

Spread into a 9inch round pan and bake at 180°C for 40 minutes, or until the tester comes out clean.

For the syrup, simply boil the orange juice and sugar for about 5 minutes.

Pour the syrup on the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.
