Instructions
  1. For Cake: Sift the flour, measure and resift 3 times with the baking powder and salt. Combine the spices and mix thoroughly with boiling water. Cream the butter until soft and smooth, blend in 3/4 C of the sugar, and add the beaten egg yolks. Beat until light and fluffy. Stir in spice mixture; then add flour mixture and milk alternately, beginning and ending with flour and beating until smooth after each addition. Beat egg whites, add remaining 1/4 C sugar, and continue beating until very stiff; fold into batter. Turn into two 8-inch cake pans which have been lined with thin plain paper in bottom. Bake in a moderate oven (350F) for about 25 minutes, until springy when pressed lightly with the finger tips. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans and then turn out and cool thoroughly on cake racks. Put together with orange frosting.
  2. For Frosting: Cream butter until very soft and smooth; then add sugar gradually, creaming thoroughly. Add salt and orange rind. Gradually work in the orange juice using just enough to produce a smooth spreading consistence. Spread on cake (Sufficient for two 8-inch layers)
Recipe Notes

To make cake flour:  For 2 C cake flour,  mix 1 3/4 C all-purpose flour and 1/4 C corn starch.

I discovered that I had no round cake pans, so I ended up making a single layer cake in a 10" spring form pan.  Still took about 25 minutes, maybe closer to 30 in my oven, but the temperature was a bit less according to my oven thermometer.

Instructions
  1. Begin with the Sweet Roll Dough, and add the first 4 ingredients after the original mix when additional flour is added.
  2. After the first rise and punch down, divide dough into 4 parts. Shape 3 of the parts into 14" strands. Place on lightly greased baking sheet (or baking sheet with parchment paper?). Braid loosely, fastening strands at one end, then tucking under. Make an indentation on the top for the second, smaller braid.
  3. Divide fourth part into 3 pieces and shape into 3 strands each 12" long. Braid these 3 strands and place this small braid on top of large braid.
  4. Cover and let rise until double, 45 to 60 minutes. Brush with egg yolk glaze, if desired.
  5. Heat over to 350F. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. While baking, whisk powdered sugar with a little milk - use only enough to wet sugar enough to make the icing. Cut the cherries.
  7. Ice while warm, then place cherries and sprinkle almonds on top. Enjoy!

Hot Baked Cinnamon Apples

Print Recipe
 Hot Baked Cinnamon Apples
These cinnamon apples taste like a cobbler or pie without the crust. I was looking for a recipe for Cinnamon apples and all I could find were recipes for baking the whole apple - not what I wanted. After much searching I finally came across this recipe - I unfortunately cannot remember the site. It can easily be reduced to 2 or 3 apples, just watch it as it cooks. We serve this over ice cream and it is delicious. It can also be used on pancakes, waffles, or all by itself.

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Place cut and peeled apples in a mixing bowl and gently mix all the ingredients together.
  3. Put apples in a non-stick pan; cover and place in the oven.
  4. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring at least once every 15 minutes.
  5. Once they are soft, cook for another few minutes to thicken the cinnamon sauce.
  6. I like to put everything into my baking dish and then mix it since there is less to clean up.
Recipe Notes

Can serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
