Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with shortening or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well blended and slightly frothy.
  3. Stir in the buttermilk, 1/2 cup of sugar, the ground orange peel, and chopped raisins until combined.
  4. Add the cake mix and baking soda to the wet ingredients. Beat vigorously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cake bakes, combine the orange juice and the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
  8. Stir or heat gently until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a syrup.
  9. Immediately upon removing the cake from the oven, pour the warm orange syrup evenly over the hot cake.
  10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing to let the syrup soak in.
