  1. Excellent pound cake and wonderful any time of the year. Have had it in my files for a long time and always turns out perfectly. If you really like orange flavor do add more orange rind. Highly recommend this recipe and thanks for submitting.
     
  2. This is a lovely rich (very rich)pound cake perfect for the holiday season. I jigged it a bit as I wanted a more pronounced orange flavour. I added extra 2 tsp. of orange rind and 1/4 tsp. orange extract. I also made 4 mini loaves instead of 1 large one as we are a household of 2. The smaller loaves also make great holiday hostess gifts. Watch your cooking time and temperature if you make smaller loaves. I cut the temperature by 25 degrees and the cooking time was a bit less. Nice recipe Irmgard!
