Yummy Orange Loaf, Aj's Favorite





The orange loaf works out every single time. When I was waiting for MJ to be born I think I baked it about 8times in 2wks. :)AJ now loves it. It came out of a recipe book I received as a wedding shower gift. You know the kind, everyone submits a recipe and they print it to raise money. This was for a hospital fund. The book is so very well used that now the covers, and binding are gone! The Orange loaf page is a mess, along with the Brownies for a Crowd recipe that was used for the new roof in May. I hope you like it as well.
EAsy too!

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening, (Cream together)
2 eggs,
rind of one orange... See More
1tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cup flour
1tsp salt
1/2 cup milk

topping,

1/4 cup sugar, and the juice of 1 orange boiled together until disolved.
I use the mixer for loaf batter, and then bake at 350 for 15minutes, then 325 for an hour.
Pour the sauce over the loaf while it's in the pan, wait about 1/2 hour before taking it out.

no breadmaker needed.
OHHHHHHHHH and when you are putting the shortening in and using the handy measure on the side of the box to cut it? Take all the wrapper off first. This morning I took this loaf out of the freezer for breakfast. AJ says "mom there's paper in here" yep! the wax paper from the shortening got cooked into that part of the loaf. I pulled it out and we ate the LOAF not the paper. oops!

No worries about the paper, adds fiber, right? This sounds so good, I've already written down the recipe to look for the ingredients next shopping trip.
Wish me luck!
You're linked!

Mnn...mom used to make orange loaves every year, freeze them, and then bring them with when we went caroling to give to everyone we carolled to. Nomnomnom! Some years I make them as well. There's something so refreshing and tasty about a slice of orange loaf. You can't quite believe that it can be ALL bad for you!
