Instructions:
Instructions: [Mod: These are brand names of low-gluten flours]

Needed: Greased and floured tube or Bundt pan - I like Bakers Joy Spray for this.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Cream together (dont over beat)

butter and granulated sugar Add, eggs one at a time, blending well: Add, 2 cups flour alternating with 1 cup milk or Half and Half Mix well. Then add 1 cup sifted flour mixed with baking powder and salt Add vanilla extract and Orange liquor, brandy or bourbon or orange juice concentrate Pour batter into greased and floured pan and gently drop upright pan on counter to bring any air bubbles to the top and slice through with a knife. Bake in preheated 350 degree F. oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Drizzle with Glaze, if you want. I dont.

Note: If you want to use sour
cream in the cake instead of milk (or half & half), add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda to last flour mix.

This recipe is delicious and is beautiful when baked at below 2500 feet altitude. See your cookbook to adjust flour for high altitude.
