Recipe Introduction
Dear TSR Friends,
I have a lot of leftover ingredients in my fridge
(one of my wife's pet peeves), so I decided to
get rid of some of them by throwing this together for
brunch this morning. Some of the ingredients are a little
weird, but it is surprisingly good with a robust orange,
slightly rich flavor that leaves a pleasant aftertaste in
your mouth. Hope you enjoy it as much as my family did.
List of Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup margarine (softened)
1/2 cup crisco shortening
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
7/8 cup sour cream**
2-3 tbsp. grated orange rind (I used 2 1/2 tbsp.)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. bourbon whiskey (to add extra aroma)
3 tbsp. freshly-squeezed orange juice
Topping
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup walnuts, crushed (I put in plastic bag and used rolling pin)
This mixture carmelized during baking making a nice, thin crispy topping. Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift dry ingredients and set aside.
In another bowl cream sugars and shortening until nice and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in sour
cream. Stir in vanilla, grated orange rind, orange juice and bourbon
whiskey. Next, stir in flour mixture, gently stirring until well mixed.
Pour batter into greased square baking pan (9"x9", may not be this
big, but my pan is Taiwanese-made and slightly larger than 8"x8").
To make toppping, simply mix sugar, cinnamon and nuts together.
Sprinkle EVENLY with topping and bake for about 40 min. or until
toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
**have used 1 cup, but decided not to in order to avoid the risk of having
a cake that has too much liquid in it. My experience has been that cakes
with too much liquid will be very heavy and not rise properly.
