1-2-3-4 Cake (Orange)

Recipe #165438 | 1 hour | 15 min prep | SERVES 20 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Chef #291568

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.

    This was a very nice cake. My family loved it. We made it with orange juice and topped it with orange icing. Thanks and we will make this again.
