Instructions
  1. 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.
Recipe Notes

I changed the recipe slightly from what was in the cooking encyclopedia.  First, I changed to shortening rather than butter: though both were listed as options, I prefer shortening.  I also added an egg yolk to try to counteract the dryness.  That didn't work as well as I'd hoped, so I'm going to add 2 egg yolks next time, and look into changing from milk to buttermilk.

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans, then line them parchment paper. Grease them again and dust lightly with flour.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed for 3 to 5 minutes, until light yellow and fluffy. Crack the eggs into a small bowl. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs 1 at a time, scraping down the bowl once during mixing. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix well. The mixture might look curdled; don't be concerned.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the batter in 3 parts, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the 4 ounces of coconut with a rubber spatula.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the 2 pans and smooth the top with a knife. Bake in the center of the oven for 45 to 55 minutes, until the tops are browned and a cake tester comes out clean. Cool on a baking rack for 30 minutes, then turn the cakes out onto a baking rack to finish cooling.
  5. For the frosting, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and almond extract on low speed. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix until just smooth (don't whip!).
  6. To assemble, place 1 layer on a flat serving plate, top side down, and spread with frosting. Place the second layer on top, top side up, and frost the top and sides. To decorate the cake, sprinkle the top with coconut and lightly press more coconut onto the sides. Serve at room temperature.

I've made these as cupcakes with my whipped buttercream frosting, think I would have liked a bit more coconut flavor for just the cake part, but with the frosting it should be amazing!!

Instructions
  1. Empty salmon into bowl. Remove as much of the bone and skin as you'd like - they are small and edible, so it's just a matter of taste. Crush the crackers with your hands as you put them in the bowl with the salmon. Add egg, Worcester, salt & pepper and mix together with your hands. Form 4 patties, making them a bit thick, and put on a plate or small sheet pan to put in the fridge for up to 2 hours before cooking.
  2. Heat skillet with butter/oil to 300F (medium heat). Place patties in, avoid crowding. Cover and let cook for about 4-5 minutes, then flip, cover, and let cook another 4-5 minutes. Internal temperature should be 150-160F.
  3. I like to serve on a plate with just some tartar sauce, but they wold be excellent for sandwiches, too.

Really tasty! But I think I will use plain yogurt next time. I really only used vanilla because I grabbed it by mistake, and wanted to use it somehow.

  5. Using a spoon or measuring cup, pour batter gently onto preheated griddle or pan, about 1/4 - 1/3 C, depending on how big you want them. Cook until the batter has little bubbles all over the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Gently flip, and cook another couple of minutes, until the bottom is browned.
  6. If you want to prepare the night before, add a little extra baking powder, so it still has some fluffiness.
