I have made this orange raisin cake a lot with pulpy oranges. So good when served warm. Use a blender or a food processor to grind the orange.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use 1 cup of orange juice concentrate diluted with 1 cup of water.
  • Grate the orange zest before juicing the oranges. This will help to release the oils in the zest, which will give the cake a more intense orange flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. This will help to prevent the batter from becoming lumpy.
  • Fold in the raisins. This will help to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

This cake is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
