I am baking this orange cake tonight as a welcome home goodie for Ray who is returning from Texas tomorrow. This looked so easy, I couldn’t resist.
This is from Elton Brown, who is generally reliable. I am looking forward to getting a taste of this pound cake since the orange zest comes from our oranges in Ojai.
I suspect Ray will like this, too. I hope so!
