How to Make Orange Crush Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening, 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened margarine, and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup orange crush, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon orange zest and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or other desired flavorings).
- Pour batter into the prepared tube pan and bake for 95 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Frosting:** In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened margarine and 4 ounces softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add 2-3 cups powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon orange juice (or other desired flavorings).
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously and enjoy!
