Name: Orange Pound Cake
Ingredients: 1 lb Butter; 1 lb Sugar, powdered; 2 tb Orange rind, grated; 6 lg Eggs; 3 1/2 c Flour (all-purpose), sifted; 1/2 ts Mace; 1/4 ts Salt; 1/4 c Orange juice; 1 c Apricot jam, strained; 2 tb Orange peel, shredded

Holiness and a progressively changed life are not optional. “By this we know that we have come to know him,” says John, “if we keep his commandments” (1 John 2:3). Mere profession of faith, unattended by good works, does not guarantee the reality of faith. We would do well to remember the rebuke of Jesus to those who professed their loyalty and cited their miraculous deeds: “I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness” (Mt. 7:23).

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Cream butter until light and fluffy.
Gradually add sifted sugar and rind. Cream thoroughly. Add eggs, one at a
time, mixing well after each addition.
Sift the flour before measuring, then combine the dry ingredients.
Gradually add sifted dry ingredients to butter mixture. Add orange juice
and combine thoroughly.
Turn into buttered and floured 10-inch tube pan.  Bake at 350 degrees F.
for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and
cake is golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes. Turn onto wire rack and cool
thoroughly.  Brush with jam and top with orange peel.
  NOTES:
*  A luscious orange-flavored pound cake -- Absolutely the best cake I have
ever eaten! I got the recipe from the mother of a friend. I think Don's mom
got the recipe off the back of a sugar box.
*  If you try to make a pound cake with margarine or shortening you will
end up with a tasteless mess. Butter is the major taste in a pound cake;
even if it weren't, butter and margarine have different properties in
baking, and this recipe is adjusted for butter.
*  Don't make this cake if you don't have an electric mixer or very strong
wrists.  I figure I spend nearly half an hour beating butter and such when
I make this cake. Also, this cake is easier to handle if you have a tube
pan that comes apart into two pieces.
: Difficulty:  easy to moderate.
: Time:  30-40 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking.
: Precision:  measure the ingredients.
