For an extra boost of orange flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of orange extract to the batter. To prevent the walnuts from sinking to the bottom of the cake, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter. The cake is best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)
02
StepCut the whole orange in half; squeeze the orange and reserve 1/3 cup juice. Grind together the orange peel and pulp, raisins, and 1/3 cup walnuts in a food processor until finely chopped. Set aside. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, blend together the flour, 1 cup sugar, milk, shortening, eggs, baking soda, and salt with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in the orange-raisin mixture until just incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. (10 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Remove cake from oven. (40 minutes)
05
StepWhile the cake is still warm, drizzle the reserved 1/3 cup orange juice evenly over the top. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup walnuts, and cinnamon until well combined. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cake. Garnish with fresh orange slices. (5 minutes)

Nov 10, 2024I found that the cake was a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the amount of sugar in the batter by 1/4 cup. It turned out perfectly!
