Jackie Gleason's Orange Juice Cake




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup buttermilk
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
3 tablespoons grated orange peel
1/2 cup orange juice


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 or 10-inch tube pan. In a large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat 1 1/2 cups sugar and butter until fluffy; at low speed, beat in flour, buttermilk, eggs (one at a time), salt, soda and vanilla until well mixed, constantly scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Beat at medium speed 3 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl. Stir in raisins, 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 orange juice with 1/2 cup sugar and pour over cake, spooning any drips from waxed paper back over cake. Cool completely.

Serves 12 to 16.
