CAKE WITH EGG YOLKS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Sift together twice: flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour back into sifter.
• In a large mixing bowl beat egg yolks and whole eggs with an electric mixer until thick and lemon colored (about 5 minutes). Gradually add sugar, beating after each addition. This should take about 10 minutes.
• Fold in orange rind, orange juice, and lemon extract. Sift dry ingredients into egg and sugar mixture and fold in. Do not stir or beat. Add boiling water and fold in quickly, just until liquid is blended. Pour batter into one ungreased 10 inch tube pan.
• Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 60 to 65 minutes. Turn cake over in pan on a wire rack and let cake hang for 1 hour or until cool. Loosen cake sides from pan with a spatula and shake from pan. Dust top lightly with confectioner's sugar or frost with Orange Butter Frosting.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line two 20cm round cake tins and set aside.
• Boil the water and beat that and the egg yolks on high until really fluffy (tripled in size).
• Turn to a low speed and add in the caster sugar, milk and vanilla extract.
• Fold through the self raising flour. Don't overmix!
• Pour the batter into the two baking pans and slam them both on the counter.
• Place in the oven for 25-35 minutes. This really depends on the oven so check it at 25 minutes. If a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean they are cooked.
• Allow the cakes to cool completely before spreading the jam and cream on one cake and layering with the other. Dust the cake with icing sugar just before serving.
