Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 orange
1 cup raisins
1/3 cup walnuts
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine, softened (or butter or shortening)
2 eggs
1/3 cup orange juice, reserved from orange used in cake
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13-by-9-inch pan.
Squeeze orange, reserving 1/3 cup juice for topping; remove seeds. In blender container, food processor bowl with metal blade, or food mill, grind orange peel and pulp, raisins and 1/3 cup walnuts. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour and all remaining cake ingredients at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Stir in orange-raisin mixture. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Drizzle reserved 1/3 cup orange juice over warm cake in pan.
In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon; mix well. Stir in 1/4 cup walnuts; sprinkle over cake. Cool 1 hour, or until completely cooled.
Time does not include cooling time.

Tips:

Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use 1 cup of frozen orange juice concentrate thawed and diluted with 1 cup of water.
Be sure to grease and flour the bundt pan before baking. This will help the cake to come out of the pan easily.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Don't overbake the cake, or it will be dry.
Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.
For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar. For a thinner glaze, add more milk.

Conclusion:

Orange Kiss-Me Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet orange flavor, and tangy glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special cake to bake, give Orange Kiss-Me Cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
