Orange Kiss Me Cake – from the 2nd Pillsbury Bake-Off contest in 1950. Recipe on Pillsbury.com by Lily Wuebel, Redwood City, CA.

Orange1

So you start with oranges. Obviously.

Orange2

Well, actually you only use 1 orange. Squeeze the juice which you reserve for later. Place the remaining pulp and peel in a food processor.

Orange3

Add the raisins and the walnuts. Process until fairly smooth. It doesn’t look very pretty, so I decided not to photograph it.

Orange4

Then you add the not so lovely mush to all of the remaining ingredients. (I’ll post the full recipe at the end of this post.) Beat on medium for 3 minutes.

Orange5

Pour batter into a greased/floured 13×9 pan. Bake for about 40 minutes at 350 degrees.

Orange6

When it comes out of the oven, you pour the reserved orange juice over cake. Then sprinkle with a mixture of sugar, cinnamon and more walnuts.

Orange7

Voila! Orange Kiss Me Cake! My daughter said, “it tastes like carrot cake.” She had seconds!

Next week’s recipe is… Starlight Double-Delight Cake.

    I was so anxious to make this cake remembered from childhood. What happened? It came out like a brick. Every recipe is the same, so it must be me!?!
