Orange Carrot Cake

Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

In large bowl, cream butter and sugar with electric mixer.

Add cinnamon, nutmeg and orange peel.

Beat-in eggs, one at a time.

Add carrots and nuts.

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; add alternately with the orange juice.

Turn into greased and floured 10-inch tube pan.

Bake 60 to 65 minutes, then turn out of pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

In a small bowl, beat sugar with butter, orange peel, and enough orange juice to make a slightly-runny orange glaze.

Cover top of cake with the glaze and decorate with orange slices.
