Combine shortening, sugar, and eggs. Sift soda, salt, and flour together and add to shortening mixture. Add orange juice. Fold in remaining ingredients. Bake in one large tube pan that has been well greased or in 2 loaf pans. Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 20 minutes for tube pan or 60 to 70 minutes for loaf pans.

For The Sauce:

Heat sugar and orange juice. Add grated rind and coconut. Mix well; remove from heat, and allow to rest and cool while cake bakes. Add extra coconut to the top after sauce is poured over cake.
