Orange bundt cake with fresh orange juice and zest in the batter, finished with a warm bourbon-butter-sugar glaze that soaks into the hot cake. Freezes beautifully.

This is my version of the wonderful dish known as General Tso's Chicken (sometimes also called General Chicken.) I use quite a bit of ground chilies in my recipe. (If you prefer a milder version just reduce the amount of ground chilies.)

I added a few cloves freshly minced garlic plus dried garlic powder and onion powder, and also put some orange cheddar in the mix with some dried parsley flakes and a few dashes of hot sauce. I ate almost half of the cakes when they were out of the oven, and I loved it. A very creative way to use leftover potatoes.
