Orange sponge cake with cranberry marble



4 eggs + 1 yolk
8 oz sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp baking powder
8 oz flour, sifted (pulsed with b. powder in food processor)
rind of 1 orange
8 oz butter, melted, cool

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Place eggs, sugar, salt, lemon juice and vanilla in bowl of stand mixer.  Place over water simmering in saucepan and whisk until eggs just warm and sugar has begun to melt.  Place bowl in stand and whip on high with whisk attachment until triple in volume.  Fold in flour and baking powder.  Fold in butter.  Pour into pan (bundt pan used).  Swirled cranberry sauce into batter with knife.  Bake ~ 45 minutes until tester clean.

Also made scrambled eggs with farmer's sausage:

Sauteed 2 links no name farmer's sausage until fluid diminished then added ~1 cup chopped onion and 2 chopped garlic cloves plus a little beer and turned to low until onions golden.  Add eggs (mixed with some garam masala, and lots of dried chervil plus salt and pepper).  Won rave reviews from DH. No pics since gobbled up :)
