Cleaning house always turns up forgotten treasures. Today, it was dust, sort, and clean my cookbooks. I enjoy reading cookbooks like some people read a novel so I have a good many books. I was just browsing through one of them and found a recipe of my own tucked into it's pages! This is a great cake that works for dessert, a snack, or something to go with the breakfast coffee or tea. Some like it warm from the oven. I like it cold as I think it brings out the flavors. Anyway, here it is!
Orange Sheet Cake
12 ounces canned frozen orange concentrate, thawed
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 cup light raisins
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Sugar-Nut Topping
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Grease and flour bottom of 13 x 9-inche cake pan. Combine 1/2 cup orange juice concentrate with flour, sugar, soda, salt, milk, and eggs. Blend at lowest speed of mixer for 30 seconds. If the batter seems to dry, add a bit more of the orange concentrate. Beat until well combined, stir in raisins, and walnuts. Spread into prepared baking pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Touch center of cake gently with your finger and it should spring back. Remove from oven and drizzle remaining orange concentrate over warm cake. Sprinkle with topping.
