SIMPLE ORANGE BANANA BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350*.
• Spray pam in a bundt pan.
• In large mixing bowl add flour, sugar, baking powder, and soda. (Mix nutmeg if you want to use now) Mix well.
• Add shortening. Cut in with a rocker or fork until it is mixed.
• Use a zest knife and get the rind off of one half of orange and add.
• Juice the orange. Add milk to make 1 cup.
• It is ok if the pulp gets used. In fact I use most of the pulp, pulse it in a blender until it is broken a little.
• Add to flour mixture.
• Use a mixer to blend on low speed.
• Add eggs and mix again.
• Add sliced banana and stir in with a spoon.
• Pour into bundt pan.
• If you use nuts and cherries, pour a little batter in the pan, then spread nuts and cherries, then the batter again.
• Bake. 45 to 50 minutes When the top springs back when touched and sides start to shrink away from the pan, it is done.
• Take out of oven and let set 15 minutes before inverting on plate. Serve plain or any glaze or frosting.

SIMPLE MOLASSES SPICE CAKE WITH ORANGE MARMALADE TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter a 9- inch square cake pan. Line the pan's bottom with parchment; butter the parchment.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix, milk, eggs, molasses, walnuts, raisins, and orange zest. (Note the nuts and raisins are optional.).
• With an electric mixer, beat on low for 2 minutes. Beat on high for 4 minutes.
• Scrape batter into the prepared pan; bake 16-20 minutes, or until the center of the cake springs back when lightly pressed. Let cake cool down a-bit (just enough so that it can be easily handled); carefully turn cake out onto a wire rack, remove parchment, and turn right side up. Spoon marmalade over WARM cake. Let cake continue to cool on wire rack. Transfer to your favorite cake pedestal and crown each serving with a dollop of whipped cream topping and a sprinkling of fresly ground nutmeg. (This cake is flavorful enough to be serve unadorned, or If desired, sprinkle with sifted confectioners sugar instead of the marmalade and whipped topping.).
• Cook's Tip: Prior to topping with orange marmalade, cake can be wrapped tightly in plastic and refrigerated for up to 1 day.
