Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 c. flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking soda

  • 1 cup of powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients together then add eggs, oil and buttermilk. Mix well.
  2. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees in a greased/floured pan.
  3. Remove pan from oven poke holes in the top of cake with fork – pour one cup of Orange juice mixed with 1 cup of powdered sugar over cake until absorbed.

  5. I typically make this in a tube pan and eat it as is, but tastes great with icing as well.
