Orange Cake Recipe

I am looking for a recipe for a Orange cake. I remember it was made without a mix and took a can of orange juice concentrate. It also had a seven minute frosting.

Thank you,

Orange Cake

"A delightful orange frosting is the secret to this cake from Kathleen Gingras of Thorold, Ontario. 'It is great with a scoop of ice cream,' she suggests."

Original recipe yield: 12 servings

PREP TIME 25 Min
COOK TIME 30 Min
READY IN 55 Min

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 1/2 teaspoons orange peel
• 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 1/4 cups cake flour
• 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

FROSTING:

• 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, softened
• 1 tablespoon orange juice

DIRECTIONS
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the orange juice, water, orange peel and almond extract; mix well. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture. Beat for 2 minutes. Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the frosting, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter and enough orange juice to achieve spreading consistency. Frost cake. (10/09/2006)
