Karen, how many people do you need the dessert for and are there any food allergies that need to be addressed?

Well, I have an excellent Williamsburg Orange cake recipe. It's very refreshing and different. We make it every year for Christmas, but I think my family may be the only ones. My mom started doing it when I was little and we called it the "Jesus Birthday Cake".
Williamsburg Orange Cake
2 1/2 C Flour
1 1/2 C Sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 C buttermilk
1/2 C butter or margarine softened
1/4 C shortening (I just used butter here also)
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 C golden raisins-cut up
1/2 C finely chopped nuts ( I use pecans)
1 Tblsp grated orange peel
Heat oven to 350. Grease & Flour baking pans. Measure all ingredients except frosting into large mixer bowl. Blend 1/2 minute on low speed, scraping bowl constantly. beat 3 minutes on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter into prepared pans and bake layers 30 to 35 minutes. Oblong 45 to 50 Cool and frost.
Williamsburg Butter Frosting
1/3 C softened butter
3 C confectioners Sugar
3 to 4 Tbp Orange juice
2 tsp grated orange peel
I usually double the frosting recipe, but I like a lot of frosting. :)

| Sarah that recipe sounds great, there will probably be 10-12 people there and of course they won't all eat because some will have started diets for thier new years resolutions. I always serve this month and it is funny the diet people are usually in the kitchen munching away but no plate for them. Thanks, Karen |

You can have little bowls of plain yogurt with some fresh chopped mint, lemon zest and a little honey drizzled over it for the "dieters".

There Is a chocolate coconut chill over recipe from MJF, it Is in the Idea Book page 110. I made it for a dinner party. It is wonderful! It was super special but still rather easy!
