   Cream butter and 3/4 cup sugar. Add yolks, one at a time,
   beating well after each. Combine orange juice, peel and
   vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture
   alternately with juice mixture, beating well. In another
   bowl, beat whites until foamy; gradually add remaining
   sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Fold into batter.
   Line two greased 9-in. round cake pans with waxed paper;
   grease paper. Pour batter into pans.  Bake at 350'F for 20
   minutes or until cake tests done. Cool 5 minutes; remove to
   wire rack. Peel off paper; cool. For filling, combine flour
   and a small amount of eggnog in a pan; stir until smooth.
   Stir in remaining eggnog; bring to a boil, stirring
   constantly. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Cool completely. Cream
   butter and sugar; add vanilla and nutmeg. Gradually beat in
   eggnog mixture. For frosting, mix chocolate, sugar,
   cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat in butter and cream. Add water
   until frosting drizzles slightly. Split cakes in half;
   spread filling on three layers. Stack with plain layer on
   top; frost the top.
