This is an excellent orange loaf cake, and I didn't make any changes to this. I did use fresh orange juice, (had to use some oranges we rec'd during this past holiday season, and followed the previous reviewers suggestion of zesting some of the orange peel. I used cake flour as well, since I had this in the ol' farm cupboards and found this to be delightful served with a special cup of tea in the afternoon before feeding the animals. Also mixed some of the rest of the orange juice 3 tablespoons, 2 cups of confectioners sugar, and 1/4 cup of soft butter to drizzle on the top. Perfection, HokiesLady! Made for *I Recommend* Tag Game January 2009.
