Terri’s Orange Pound Cake

2 ¾ cups sugar

1 ¼ cups butter, softened

1 teaspoon orange flavoring

1 teaspoon orange zest

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup evaporated milk

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a Bundt pan; set aside.

Beat sugar, butter, flavoring, zest and eggs on low speed until blended. Beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Mix in flour, baking powder and salt; alternating with milk. Pour into the pan. Bake for 70-80 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes and remove from the pan.

Orange Glaze

2 tablespoons butter, softened

1 cup 10x sugar

¼ teaspoon orange flavoring

1 teaspoon orange zest

3 tablespoons milk

Mix butter, sugar, flavoring and zest until well blended. Add the milk and beat until smooth.

Pour glaze over cake while still warm. Allow to cool completely and enjoy!

This is my favorite pound cake recipe. I use this basic recipe whether I am making a plain, lemon or orange pound cake. The only thing you would change is the flavoring. If making a plain pound cake; add vanilla and do not use any zest. If making a lemon pound; add lemon flavoring and zest. Same goes with the glaze. This is a great cake to make if you are having a party or just enjoying it with your family.

Blessings,
