piece of fruit. For the times you crave something a bit more special, try

this orange-scented pound cake. Just stick to the recommended portion size.

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with

vegetable cooking spray. Sift together flour, salt, baking powder and

baking soda in medium bowl; set aside.

 

2. With vegetable peeler or small, sharp knife, remove peel from orange;

coarsely chop the peel. Cut orange in half and squeeze 1/4 cup juice.

Process sugar and peel in food processor, pulsing until peel is finely

chopped. Combine buttermilk, orange juice and vanilla in a glass measuring

cup.

 

3. Beat butter and orange-sugar mixture in a large mixer bowl on

medium-high speed until combined. Beat in egg and egg whites, 1 at a time,

beating well after each addition. At low speed, add dry ingredients

alternately with buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with dry

ingredients.

 

4. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake 40 minutes, until toothpick

inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan 15 minutes; invert and

remove pan. Cool on wire rack right side up. Cut into 12 slices. Serve

each slice with 1 teaspoon honey, if desired. Makes 12 servings.
