- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 pound butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups fresh orange juice
- 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons grated orange rind
- 2 tablespoons Cointreau, Triple Sec or Grand Marnier
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter and flour a nine-inch springform baking pan.
- Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together and set aside.
- Beat the butter and one-and-a-third cups of the sugar together until light, then beat in the eggs.
- Add the flour alternately with one cup of the orange juice.
- Fold in the walnuts and orange rind.
- Spread batter in prepared pan and bake about 1 hour and 10 minutes, until browned and a cake tester comes out clean.
- Shortly before the cake is finished baking, simmer the remaining one-fourth cup of orange juice with the remaining sugar and the liqueur until the mixture is reduced to about three tablespoons and is syrupy.
