Might be a good dessert for the holidays. I haven't tried this recipe and have copied it just like it is written in Jane Kincaid's cookbook.
Orange Cake
Juice of one large orange.
1/2 cup white sugar put in juice, dissolve this mixture and let stand while mixing and baking.
1/2 cup butter or crisco (scant)
1 cup white sugar
2 whole eggs
2/3 cup sour milk
2 cups flour
1 level teaspoon soda (put in sour milk)
1 orange peel grated
1 cup raisins put through a food chopper with orange peel.
Add raisins and orange peel to butter and sugar after they have been well creamed, add milk and flour then the eggs last.
Beat yellows and whites together.
When done and first taken out of the stove, pour juice over cake and let stand in skillet until cold.
In pouring the juice over the cake be careful not to let the juice run down the sides of cake.
Have stove pretty hot.
