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. Grease generously and slightly flour bundt pan. Sprinkle chopped nuts (if you used) in bottom. P:lace all other cake ingredients in bowl and mix well at medium speed on electric for 5 minutes. Bake at 350F for 1 hour Cool cake in pan for 20 minutes, then frost.
  2. Frosting: Put all ingredients saucepan and bring to a boil; boil for 1 minute. Pour over cake in pan; leave in pan until completely cool, then turn upside down on cake plate.
Recipe Notes

This can also be made as a chocolate rum cake simply by swapping the yellow cake mix with chocolate cake mix, and the vanilla pudding for chocolate pudding. Get the driest possible cake mix, again, so that the syrup will soak in. (I haven't tried this yet, but I plan to for birthdays! (6.25.20))

If you can't find a super dry generic cake mix, try changing the syrup ingredients to 1/4 C each of water and rum.  (I haven't tried this yet - I found a great dry mix, for the yellow cake at least. (6.25.20))
