ORANGE GLAZED POUND CAKE

Did you catch my post on the Lemon Coconut Pixies? These cookies were so cute and just as delicious. Well, this Orange Glazed Pound Cake recipe came from the same cookbook simply named Amish Cooking. It sounded just perfect for me to make and take to the volunteers at the thrift shop (HPC Thrift Shop). They are so appreciative of everything I take to them and let me know it.

ORANGE GLAZED POUND CAKE

1     package Golden Butter cake mix
4     eggs
1     cup sour cream
1/3  cup oil
1/4  cup plus 1 to 2 tablespoons orange juice, divided
2     tablespoons grated orange peel
1     cup confectioners' sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10 - inch tube pan.

Combine cake mix, eggs, sour cream, oil, 1/4 cup orange juice and orange peel in large mixing bowl.

(Beat on low speed 10 seconds just to moistened most of the cake mix; scrape the sides of the bowl.)

Increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes.

Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool in pan 25 minutes.

Invert onto cooling rack. (I inverted the cake on my cake server.) Cool completely.

Combine powdered sugar and remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons orange juice in small bowl;

stir until smooth.

Drizzle over cake. Garnish as desired.
