My husband needed something to take to his office pot luck and it reminded me of a favorite, quick recipe that tastes like one went to a whole lot more trouble that it really does. My mother made this when I was growing up and the muddled slip of paper with the recipe followed me into my marriage. For me, this recipe practially goes back to the Stone Age! Given my day has been hectic with unexpected uses of my time, this was the best idea that came to mind.
Orange Kiss-Me Cake
3/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate,
thawed
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon
salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 milk
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins
(optional)
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
(Like to put both the walnut and the raisins in the food processor and grind them up together a bit)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Vegetable oil spray a 13x9 pan. Combine 1/2 cup of the orange juice concentrate with
remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Blend at the lowest speed for 30
seconds, then increase to medium speed for 3 minutes. Pour into pan. Bake for 30
to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Drizzle remaining orange juice
concentrate over warm cake; sprinkle with topping.
Sugar-Nut
Topping-
Combine in a small bowl.
1/4 cup sugar
1/4
cup chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla power or add liquid vanilla extract to the remaining orange concentrate.
