   1                cup  flour
   1           teaspoon  baking powder
      1/4      teaspoon  salt
   3                     eggs
      3/4           cup  sugar
      1/3           cup  orange juice
      1/2      teaspoon  orange extract
                         sifted powdered sugar
                         Orange Whipped Cream
   3        Tablespoons  orange liqueur
                         orange slices -- garnish
                         mint -- garnish
                         raspberries -- garnish

Grease & lightly flour a 15x10x1" baking pan, set aside.  Stir 
together flour, baking powder & salt; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on high speed 4 
minutes or until thick.  Gradually beat in granulated sugar, beating 
on medium speed 4-5 minutes or until light and fluffy.  Add orange 
juice & extract; beat on low to medium speed until combined.  Add 
flour mixture, beat on low speed just until combined.  Pour batter 
into prepared pan.

Bake in a 375 degree F oven 15 minutes or until cake springs back 
when it is lightly touched.  Immediately loosen edges of cake from 
pan; turn cake out onto a towel sprinkled with powdered 
sugar.  Transfer towel and cake to wire rack; cool.  Prepare Orange 
Whipped Cream.

Cut cake crosswise into three 10x5" rectangles.  Brush top of each 
rectangle with some of the liqueur.  Place one cake rectangle on 
platter.  Top with 1 cup Orange Whipped Cream.  Add another cake 
rectangle top with 1 cup Cream.  Add last cake layer.  Frost top and 
sides of cake with remaining Cream.  Cover; chill 4 hours or up to 24 
hours.  Garnish with orange slices, fresh raspberries and mint, if 
desired.  Serves 12.

ORANGE WHIPPED CREAM:  Grate 1/4 teaspoon orange peel; set aside.  In 
a medium saucepan combine 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour and dash 
salt.  In bowl, stir together 3 egg yolks, 1/2 cup orange juice, and 
1 TBSP lemon juice.  Whisk yolk mixture into sugar mixture in 
pan.  Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and 
bubbly.  Reduce heat; cook and stir 1 minute more.  Remove from 
heat.  The mixture will be thick and will thicken more as it 
cools.  Stir in orange peel.  Ste pan in a bowl of ice water; stir 
occasionally until cool.

In chilled bowl, beat 1 1/2 cups whipping cream with chilled beaters 
of electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.  Gently fold 
in cooled egg yolk mixture; use immediately.
