with Orange Filling and cover top and sides of cake with Seven Minute

ingredients in order given. Cook in a double boiler ten minutes,
stirring constantly. Cool. Frosting: Put egg whites, sugar, water,

Place over rapidly boiling water and beat constantly with a rotary
egg beater until the mixture will hold a peak (about seven minutes).
Remove from hot water, add vanilla and marshmallows and beat until
cool and thick enough to spread.
