Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/3 c Margarine
3 tb Light brown sugar -- packed
2/3 c Sugar
1/3 ts Vanilla extract
2 Eggs
1 1/3 c All-purpose flour
1/2 ts Baking soda
2 ts Double-acting baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
2 c Sour cream
2/3 c Milk
1 Orange -- * see note
* Peel orange, cut into quarters and thinly slice across the
sections, or cut into a pretty pattern of your choice.
This is from a recipe I created many years ago. The cake has a
sponge-like texture, delicate, and light.
Cream margarine and sugars until light and fluffy. Blend in vanilla.
Beat in eggs one at a time.
Stir flour, salt, soda, and baking powder together thoroughly; blend
into creamed mixture alternately with 1/2 cup sour cream and milk.
Begin and end with flour.
Pour into greased and waxed paper-lined (grease the waxed paper
lightly also) 13x9x2" pan. Bake in preheated 350°F oven, 25 to
35 minutes or until done.
Cool completely before removing from pan.
Cut cake in half to form two layers 6-1/2 x 9". Spread 3/4 cup sour
cream over layer, arrange orange slices on sour cream. Top with
2nd layer. Garnish each serving with additional sour cream and orange
slices.
* The sour cream is an acquired taste. You may prefer to sweeten it
with sugar or honey, or with a mix of half sour cream and half
sweetened whipped cream.
