Steps:
- For the Cake
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- Place Flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, egg and oranges in a large bowl.
- Beat with an electric mixer until everything is well combined and you see no large pieces of orange remaining.
- Pour into a greased 9 inch cake pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cake is done when a knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (no batter sticking to it).
- Place cake on wire rack to cool. Cake should be room temperature before you frost it.
- For the Frosting
- Place butter, orange zest and about 1/4 of the powdered sugar in a medium bowl.
- Beat with the whisk/whip attachment of an electric mixer until well combined.
- Alternate adding small amounts of the remaining sugar and orange juice slowly, mixing in between each addition. Continue until all of the sugar and juice have been added. Continue beating with the mixer until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Spread the icing over your cake with a spatula or apply with a piping bag.

GRANDMA'S POUND CAKE
After making more of these pound cakes than I can count over the holidays, I've decided to share this fabulous recipe. This is my grandmother's, and it definitely packs on the pounds! Don't leave this lying around your house, because you will eat it all! I also decorate the top with colored sugars depending on the holiday or event.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- Beat butter with an electric mixer until soft and creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as you go, about 2 minutes. Gradually add in sugar on medium speed. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until the yellow disappears from the previous one.
- Combine flour and baking soda in a bowl. Add sour cream to the creamed butter mixture alternately with the flour, ending with sour cream. Beat in vanilla and almond extract just until combined. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar.

GRANDMA'S ORANGE CAKE
Just found this recipe in my old recipe file. Grandma use to make this simple recipe to serve with tea in the afternoon. Only things on the old yellowed page are the ingredients, no directions, so I'm taking some liberty here. Think of it as an adventure . . . this is how our grandmothers use to cook!

Steps:
- I used two 8" round cake tins. Butter or spray them and put in a round piece of parchment in the bottom. I use baking spray which is a combination of oil and flour.
- Add your sugar and large strips of the orange rind (I used a vegetable peeler) into your food processor and grind until the orange peel is fully combined.
- Combine your room temperature butter and the orange sugar and mix until fully combined.
- Add each egg separately and fully incorporate between each egg. Add the fresh orange juice to the batter and mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, add your flour and baking powder and whisk together until well blended. Add the dry ingredients to the batter by 1/2 cup increments mixing until just combined between each addition.
- Pour the batter into to tins and make sure they are equal to ensure even baking times. Bake for about 30 - 35 minutes. Once you've taken the cakes out of the oven, allow to cool for about 5 minutes in the tin and then turn out, inverted, onto a wire rack. Allow to cool completely.
- Once the cakes have fully cooled, decorate!

Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan with solid vegetable shortening and flour, and set aside.
- Place the butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until soft. While the mixer is running, gradually add the sugar, and beat until the mixture is creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the mixer and separate the eggs. Set aside the egg whites.
- Add the egg yolks to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, and beat on medium-low until well combined before adding the next yolk. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Set aside.
- Zest the orange, and add 1 teaspoon of the zest to the butter and sugar mixture. Reserve 1/2 teaspoon or more zest for the glaze. Cut the orange in half, and juice the orange into a measuring cup. Add enough more carton orange juice to measure 1 cup. Alternatively add the sifted flour and orange juice to the mixing bowl, beating on low speed until combined and smooth, 1 minute. Set aside.
- With clean beaters, beat the egg whites on high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the beaten whites on top of the batter, and with the rubber spatula, fold the whites into the batter until the batter is smooth. Turn the batter into the prepared pan, and place the pan in the oven.
- Bake until the top of the cake springs back when lightly pressed, about 38 to 42 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and place the pan on a wire rack to cool 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Place the sifted confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Whisk in the orange juice and zest until smooth. Set aside.
- Run a knife around the edges of the cake pan. Give the pan a good shake to loosen it, then invert it once and then again so that it rests right-side up on the rack. Poke holes in the top of the cake with a long wooden skewer or chopstick. Carefully spoon the glaze over the top of the cake, letting it soak into the cake before adding more. Let the cake rest 1 hour, then slice and serve.
