Directions:Preheat the oven to 350º. To make the cake, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat the shortening with the butter until well-combined. Cream in the sugar and beat until fluffy and light. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time until well-combined. Add the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in the orange zest, cereal, cranberries, and pecans. Beat the cream of tartar into the egg whites and continue beating until stiff. Gently fold the whites into the cake batter. Pour into 3 buttered 8" or 9" round cake pans. Bake for 25-35 min, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack.
To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese with the butter until well-combined. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and orange juice; beat until creamy and smooth. Stir in the orange zest. Frost the tops and sides of the cake. |
