Orange-Glow Chiffon Layer Cake

 Heavenly Cake Baker Submission #40

I chickened out!  I don't have a flower nail with me, and I'm still hunting my way through all of the flours with my translator app - nothing is labeled unbleached.  So I took the easy way out and made cupcakes like the original Bostini batter.

Hurray - both pans on the same rack!

I haven't found a baking spray yet, so I buttered the cups and dusted with flour.  It was the usual two step process with a fluffy meringue folded in for a light as air, orange scented batter. 

I had a little extra batter, so that went into a small prepared bowl.  I had to try one when they came out of the oven.  It was light and fragrant.  I had a second one before I went on on errands, just to stave off low blood sugar, of course.  While I was out, Ed and Bill sampled the plain cupcakes.  Bill felt that didn't need a topping; they were fine they on their own.  Now, we're down to 8 cupcakes and a small bowl.  They all got the True Orange Whipped Cream topping and went to Ed's office the next day.  The Polish Air Force will think that Americans are dedicated bakers. 

Unlike my other blog posts, as part of the Heavenly Cake Bakers, I don't post recipes from this book on the Internet. One of the reasons for this baking group is to encourage readers to purchase the cookbook. That strategy worked on me! After follow the group's baking adventures for a couple of months, I ordered a copy from Amazon because I wanted join in.
