Every fall in my grandmothers grocery store, we would receive huge 30 lb boxes of orange slices for the holiday season. We would have to bag them into individual packages of 1 lb each. Many nights my grandmother would go home, fix my grandfather supper, only to return back to the store to bag candy. She must have really enjoyed that store.
This recipe for cake actually calls for orange slices. A traditional Christmas candy for our family.
Orange Slice Cake Recipe:
4 eggs
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of butter, melted
1/2 cup of butter milk
3 1/2 cups of self rising flour
1 box of dates
1lb of orange slices
1 cup of coconut
2 cups of chopped pecans or walnuts
Mix all of the ingredients together and put in a 9X13" cake pan. Bake slowly at 200 degrees for 2 1/2 hours.
Topping:
1 cup of fresh orange juice
powdered sugar
While the cake is still warm, pour the orange juice over it. Then dust it with powdered sugar.
