# Orange Layer Cake
## Ingredients
### Cake
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 Tbsp shortening
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp Calumet baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp orange extract
- 1/4 tsp lemon extract
### Orange Custard Filling (see Editor's Notes)
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp orange zest
### Seven Minute Frosting
- 2 egg whites
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 5 Tbsp cold water
- 1 1/2 tsp light corn syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
### Garnish
- 2-3 oranges, supremed (sections free from membrane)
## Instructions
### Cake
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour two 9" round layer pans.
2. Cream shortening and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in egg.
4. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour.
6. Stir in orange extract and lemon extract.
7. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans.
8. Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool completely before assembling.
### Orange Custard Filling
1. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, orange juice, and lemon juice together in a heavy saucepan.
2. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened — approximately 8-10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in butter and orange zest.
4. Cool completely before using.
### Seven Minute Frosting
1. Combine egg whites, sugar, cold water, and corn syrup in the top of a double boiler.
2. Beat with a hand mixer over boiling water for 7 minutes until stiff, glossy peaks form.
3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
4. Use immediately.
### Assembly
1. Place first cake layer on serving plate.
2. Spread orange custard filling evenly over the top.
3. Place second layer on top.
4. Cover top and sides of cake completely with seven minute frosting.
5. Arrange supremed orange sections decoratively on top of cake.
6. Serve the same day — seven minute frosting does not hold well overnight.
## Editor's Notes
- **Orange filling** — called for in the original assembly instructions but entirely absent from the recipe card. A standard orange custard filling has been reconstructed above as the most period-appropriate interpretation. An orange buttercream (powdered sugar, softened butter, orange juice, and orange extract) is a simpler modern alternative.
- **"7 min frosting"** — Seven Minute Frosting is a well-documented period recipe; standard reconstruction provided above. Must be used immediately after preparation as it sets quickly and does not store well.
- **"Orange sections free from membrane"** — supremed orange segments; cut away all peel, pith, and membrane to expose clean fruit sections. A period presentation detail suggesting this was considered a somewhat elegant cake. -

# Pilaf
## Ingredients
- 2-3 Tbsp margarine
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup long grain white rice
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp consommé or tomato juice (see Editor's Notes)
## Instructions
1. Melt margarine in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
3. Add dry rice and sauté, stirring constantly, until rice is lightly toasted and opaque, approximately 2-3 minutes.
4. Pour in consommé or tomato juice and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is fully absorbed, approximately 18-20 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
## Editor's Notes
- **Margarine quantity** — original card lists "1/4" alongside margarine but the unit is ambiguous; 1/4 cup of margarine for 1/2 cup rice is excessive. 2-3 Tbsp recommended as more practical.
- **"Over a cup consomm-"** — consommé, with the word cut off. Beef or chicken consommé both appropriate; chicken produces a lighter result.
- **"Tan juice"** — interpreted as tomato juice, with "tom" hastily abbreviated. Tomato juice pilaf was a common mid-century variation producing a reddish, slightly sweet rice dish. -
