Last week I made Lemon Bread, this week is Orange Pound Cake. I’m sucker for pound cake anyways but wanted to try adding a little flavor to one. This was a hit to say the least and gone in about 30 seconds. Would have been sooner but they had to pause and drink some milk with it.
p.s. I would love to see you join the new foodie community. I already gave away two fabulous prizes to active members and that’s only the beginning;)
INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325′ and have your 9×5 loaf pan buttered and ready to go.
Cream butter & sugar, then add eggs and mix well; set aside. In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. In a measuring cup combine orange juice, milk and orange zest and start adding butter mixture alternating with the flour mixture until light & creamy.
Spoon (pour) into pan and bake for 45min or until center comes out clean with toothpick. Cool in pan and then remove from pan and drizzle with glaze.

Mix together and drizzle on cake while still warm.
This Orange Pound Cake is delicious. I don’t think it could be any better! I’m not a big orange flavor lover, but I could make this again!
