My mother just gave me a whole box of recipes and I found this recipe in it. It sounded so good, I baked it for a bake sale. A woman bought a couple of pieces, liked it so much that she came back and bought the rest of the cake. Definitely a keeper... very easy, tasty, and versatile. I made it in a 9x13 pan. You can use milk or water instead of orange juice but I really liked the flavour of the orange juice and the raisins in it.
