ORANGE JUICE POUND CAKE WITH ORANGE JUICE ICING

Orange Juice Pound Cake With Orange Juice Icing image

A favorite "summery" pound cake. I love the citrusy flavor mingled in with the creaminess of the classic pound cake. This recipe came from an old cookbook my granny gave to me called Extension Homemakers dated 1978.
