Notes:
* a Luscious orange-Flavored Pound Cake—Absolutely The Best Cake i Have
Ever Eaten! i Got The Recipe From The Mother of aFriend. i Think Don's
Mom Got The Recipe Off The Back of a sugar Box.
* if You Try to Make a Pound Cake With margarine
Or shortening You Will
End up With a Tasteless Mess. butter is The MajorTaste in a Pound Cake;
Even if it Weren't, butter And margarine Have
Different Properties In
Baking, And This Recipe is Adjusted For butter.
* Don't Make This Cake if You Don't Have An
Electric Mixer or Very Strong
Wrists. i Figure i Spend Nearly Half an Hour
Beating butter And Such When
i Make This Cake. Also, This Cake is Easier To
Handle if You Have a Tube
Pan That Comes Apart Into Two Pieces.
: Difficulty: Easy to Moderate.
: Time: 30-40 Minutes Preparation, 1 Hour Baking.
: Precision: Measure The Ingredients.
(i've Never Made This Cake; my Step-Son Sent me The Recipe. it Sounds Good to Me, Though. Good Luck, if You Try This. i Think i Will.
