List of Ingredients




1 large orange
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest


Recipe



1 Sqeeze the juice from the orange, and then remove the white from the peel. Place the peel, nuts and raisins in a food processor, and grind coarsely. Add the orange juice to the nut mixture.

2 Cream the shortening and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat the egg, and add it to the creamed mixture.


3 Sift together the flour, soda, baking powder, and spices. Add the flour mixture alternately with the the buttermilk to the creamed mixture. Stir in 3/4 of the nut mixture, and reserve the rest for the icing.

4 Pour batter into a greased and floured 10 inch square pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 1 hour. Cool.

5 To Make Frosting: Blend the cream and vanilla with the confectioners' sugar in a small mixing bowl. Add the remaining nut mixture and the grated orange rind. Frost the cooled cake with this icing.
