Ravani

1 cup unsalted butter
1-3/4 cups sugar
7 eggs, separated
1 tsp. vanilla extract
grated rind of one orange
2 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup farina
1/3 cup sliced almonds
2 cups water
6 cinnamon sticks
12 whole cloves
3 TBL Metaxa brandy
3 TBL Grand Marnier

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

Beat the butter together with on-half cup of the sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, and and the vanilla and orange rind. Stir in the flour, farina, and almonds.

Beat the egg whites until stiff. Gradually beat in another half-cup sugar until the meringue is glossy and very stiff. Fold into the batter.

Turn the mixture into a greased pan (10 x 14 x 2) and bake 35 to 40 mins., or until done. Cool to room temperature in the pan, then turn out onto a plate.

Make a syrup by placing the water, remaining sugar, cinnamon, and cloves in a small pan. Heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil five minutes. Strain and discard the spices, then add the brandy and Grand Marnier. Spoon a little at a time over the cake until it is soaked and absorbed.
