The original name of this cake is just Orange Cake, but I thought it deserved a more descriptive name that captured everything going on in it. This sounds like a great breakfast or brunch cake, perfect with coffee or tea. A great treat to make for a luncheon or tea. This is yet another recipe from that cookbook that my great aunt gave me that was compiled for her local high school homecoming reunion. It's so unusual and sounds so good that I just had to share. Enjoy! **Original recipe is from the Plummerville Homecoming Cookbook, 1994, and the recipe credit goes to Merritt L. Crawford.**
