I have made this recipe 5 times and every time people just cant get enough of it!! This recipe is awesome and very similar to a pound cake recipe handed down from my great grandmother. It is moist and very delicious. I serve it either with confectioners sugar sprinkled on top or with an orange drizzle which consists of confectioners sugar, orange juice and fresh orange zest. Either way plain or with orange drizzle... it is AWESOME!!
