- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup sweet or sour milk (buttermilk)
- 1-2/3 cups sifted flour
- 1 tspn baking soda
- 1 cup raisins
- Rind of 1/2 orange
- Juice of 1 orange
- 1/2 cup sugar
Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs and beat thoroughly. Then add milk. alternately, with the flour and soda.
Grind the raisins and orange rind in a food chopper, and add last. Bake in a greased loaf pan in a moderate oven, 350 degrees, for about 40 minutes.
While the cake is baking, combine the orange juice and sugar. Let it stand in a bowl and stir occasionally. While the cake is still warm but not hot, pour this mixture very slowly over it. Some of it will soak in. The rest will form a glazed icing over the cake.
