Tips:

  • Use fresh, juicy oranges. This will give your pound cake the best flavor.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them. This will help release the essential oils that give oranges their characteristic flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will give the flavors time to develop.
  • Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. This will make it even more delicious!
