   2       lg           Eggs
     1/2   c            Sugar
     3/4   c            All-purpose flour
   1 1/2   ts           Baking powder
   2       ts           Grated orange peel
     1/4   c            Butter or margarine -- melted
                        Orange segments
                        Mint sprigs

  Syrup:  In small pan, mix sugar, orange peel, juice,      
  lemon peel, lemon juice and cinnamon.  Bring to a boil    
  over medium-high heat.  Boil, stirring, just until        
  sugar is dissolved.  Remove from heat and let cool;       
  then stir in rum and vanilla.                             
                                                            
  Combine eggs and sugar and beat until thick and lemon     
  colored.  Add flour, baking powder, orange peel and       
  butter; beat until well blended.  Spread batter in a      
  greased, floured 9-inch cake pan with a removable rim.    
  Bake in a 375-degree oven until cake just begins to       
  pull away from sides of pan and center springs back       
  when lightly pressed (about 20 minutes).                  
                                                            
  Set warm cake in pan or on a rack; set rack over a        
  plate to catch any drips.  Pierce cake all over with a    
  fork.  Slowly pour Spirited Syrup over cake; let cool.    
  Just before serving, remove pan rim.  Garnish cake        
  with orange segments; if desired, and mint sprigs.
