ORANGE SLICE CANDY CAKE (TWO VERSIONS)



Orange Slice Candy Cake (Two Versions) image

My grandmother used to make an orange slice cake that my grandfather loved. I don't have her recipe, but I found this in that cookbook my great aunt gave me. I don't recall hers having anything in it but the orange slices. This one calls for dates and nuts, which sounds totally gross to me, so, since I can't stand dates, it's craisins for me instead, if anything. I'm probably going to make this with just the orange slices, at least the first time. However you decide to make yours, enjoy! I found a second version of this cake in the same cookbook. It was slightly different and included coconut as well, so I've also listed that version below. I'm thinking my grandma's could have had coconut in it. I just may try that, but I'll still leave out the dates and nuts! LOL Note: Photo is borrowed from the internet. **These recipes are from the Plummerville Homecoming Cookbook, 1994, and the recipe credit for the first version goes to Martha Ann Weatherby Anglin. The second version of this cake is from Betty Sue Adams Bowden.**

1 1/2 cup(s) sugar
2 cup(s) flour
1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/2 cup(s) buttermilk

Steps:

  • VERSION ONE: Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Add 1 cup of buttermilk and beat well. In seperate bowl, mix 1/2 cup buttermilk and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture and combine. In seperate bowl, combine flour and salt. Add to mixture. Add orange slice, and craisins and nuts if desired, and blend. Pour into well greased and floured tube pan. Bake at 275 degrees for 2 and a half hours. In a bowl, add brown sugar to orange juice concentrate and let stand while cake bakes. Pour on cake while hot.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges will give your cake the best flavor. If you can, use organic oranges to avoid pesticides and waxes.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them. This will release the essential oils from the oranges, which will give your cake a more intense flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Orange slice cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, tangy orange flavor, and sweet glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
