Orange Pound Cake

As a part of the apronalong everyone was encouraged to do some baking and share a recipe.  I did some baking but it wasn't ready in time for photos so I am sharing it today instead.

Lately my cooking has been based on what is in our cupboards already.  I used to find recipes online then duck down to the shops and buy ingredients and whip it up that same day.  It's a bit harder to just pop out to the supermarket these days so I have adapted.  We had a bunch of oranges in the fridge that weren't being eaten so Orange Pound Cake it is.

I used this recipe and I must say I was very impressed.  It didn't seem like it had a lot of orange in it so I was concerned that the flavour was going to be a bit plain.  I was pleasantly surprised that the flavour was quite strong.  Corey even said that as soon as you opened the container I had it in you could smell the orange really strongly.  If you have oranges that need to be used I would highly recommend this recipe.  My next cooking adventure (when I get time) is going to be oatmeal and raisin cookies to use up the raisins sitting in my cupboard not being eaten.
