This recipe is for my husband's favorite cake in the whole wide world.... his Grandma always made it for her "Davey" and I remember my first taste of it was at our engagement party, it was a sheet cake that Grandma made and every time we visited Jersey after that an orange cake "appeared". In the early years it never would've occurred to me to ask for the recipe and make THE Orange Cake, probably because I was too bust screwing up Rice-a-Roni and the like. But then some years ago Grandma shared the recipe and I've made it ever since. I initially made it in a 9 x 13 because that's how I thought it was supposed to be but I've learned since it was meant for a bundt pan. I use this old heavy plastic one my Mom gave me when she was purging stuff once and it works like a charm.... and it's a great cake that is perfect for a casual hot afternoon barbecue or fancy enough for a tea party or ......an Easter Brunch :)It's not time consuming to put together BUT it is night before..... TIP: Enjoy this recipe for what it is, EASY. I have made my own angel food cake to make this "from scratch" but I decided long ago that's a waste of resources.... buy an angel food cake from the bakery at your grocery store. It will be so lovely.
