Recipe
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add juices and peel;

beating well after each addition. Sift flour with baking powder and
salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Pour into two greased and
floured 8-in. cake pans. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or
until cake tests done. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing
to a wire rack to cool completely. For frosting, combine coconut,
sugar, juices and 3 teaspoons peel; mix well. Let stand for 10-15
minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Fold in whipped cream. Spread
between cake layers and over the top. Sprinkle with remaining orange
peel. Chill for at least 1 hour. Store in the refrigerator. Yield:
10-12 servings.
