Category: Cakes, And, Icings
1 Sunkist orange
1 c Raisins
2 c All-purpose flour
1 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Salt
1 c Chopped walnuts
1/2 c Butter or margarine;
-softened
1 1/2 c Sugar
2 Eggs
1 c Buttermilk
1 ts Vanilla extract
Cut the orange in half, ream out the juice and reserve it. Cut off and
discard the ends of the orange shells and cut the peel into 1-inch pieces.
In a food processor or blender, finely chop the orange peel with the
raisins. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir
in the walnuts to coat with the flour. In the large bowl of an electric
mixer, cream together the butter and 1 cup of the sugar. Beat in the eggs,
buttermilk and vanilla. By hand, stir in the orange-raisin mixture. Add dry
ingredients, stirring until well blended. Pour into a well-greased
9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes or until a
toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Meanwhile, in a small
saucepan, combine the reserved orange juice and remaining 1/2 cup of sugar.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Slowly pour over the hot cake in the
pan. Cook cake on a wire rack for 1 hour. (The cake will absorb all the
syrup mixture.) Remove from the pan.
