Coconut Orange Cake

This cake is a recipe I received from Maha Aborjay while living in Hia T'lool, Irbid Jordan. She is a fabulous cook and manager of the Home Economics teachers for Northern Jordan. She taught me alot and I will always be grateful. I hope you enjoy this cake that is so simple to make and delicious with a cup of hot tea.
