| 8
tablespoons sweet butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated
sugar
4 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking
powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup Longmont Dairy
Milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
extract
1/2 cup poppy seeds (
optional)
Grated zest of 1 1/2
oranges
Orange colored frosting
1 ice cream cone
Green colored frosting
Grease a 10 inch bundt
pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cream the butter and
sugar, beating until light. Beat in egg yolks
individually. Sift or mix together the flour, baking
powder and salt. Add small amounts of the dry
ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, alternating
with parts of the milk. Mix well after each addition.
Fold in the poppy seeds,
vanilla and grated orange zest. Pour batter into the
greased bundt pan.
Set on the middle rack of
the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Let cool in the pan
for 30 minutes before turning out onto a cake rack.
When cake has cooled,
decorate as a pumpkin with the orange frosting. Frost
the ice cream cone green to use as a stem. Or dribble
with an Orange Glaze made from 1/3 cup orange juice, and
1/3 cup sugar, heated for about 6 minutes, until it
forms a syrup. |
