JMAnyone have a recipe for Valencia Orange Cake?
This is as close as I have-- this is delicious in its own way





INGREDIENTS


1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix


1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix


2 cups sour cream


2 eggs


1/4 cup vegetable oil


1/4 cup orange liqueur


1 cup white chocolate chips


1/8 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting








DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F(175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch Bundt pan.


In a medium bowl, stir together the cake mix and pudding mix. Add the sour cream, eggs, oil and orange liqueur. Mix until smooth and well blended, then fold in the white chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.


Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until cake springs back to the touch. Allow cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. When cake is cool, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.
This is the quickest and simplest cake to bake. It uses naval oranges that don't have the seeds.
