Source of Recipe


Posted By: Mary Ellen


List of Ingredients




2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup buttermilk
3 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
3 tbsp grated orange peel
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup confectioners sugar

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease a 9 or 10-inch tube pan. In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat 1 1/2 cups sugar and butter or margarine until fluffy; at low speed, beat in flour, buttermilk, eggs, salt, soda and vanilla until well mixed, constantly scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Beat at medium speed 3 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl.

Stir in pecans and orange peel. Pour batter into pan and bake 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pan and place on wire rack over a sheet of waxed paper.
While cake is still very warm, in small bowl, stir the orange juice with the confectioners sugar and pour over cake, spooning any drips from waxed paper back over cake. Cool completely. Makes 12 to 16 servings.
