"I have made this orange raisin cake a lot with pulpy oranges. So good when served warm. Use a blender or a food processor to grind the orange."
Ingredients:
- 1 large orange
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shortening (or butter)
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
- Squeeze the orange and reserve 1/3 cup of the juice. Grind the orange peel and pulp, raisins and 1/3 cup walnuts together. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add milk shortening and eggs. Beat for 3 minutes at medium speed. Stir in orange-raisin mixture.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- For the topping: Drizzle reserved 1/3 cup orange juice over warm cake. In a small bowl combine 1/3 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup walnuts; sprinkle over cake
