Ach! Sorry. Haven't forgotten, but HAVE forgotten my password for my website, and now I'm locked out. So...here's the recipe from a reader who made it: https://www.democraticunderground.com...
Lizzie's Spoils-of-war Orange Cake (from The Midwife's Revolt by Jodi Daynard. Excellent book, the cake is sublime. I baked it in a chrysanthemum bundt pan) For the cake: Beat together 8 soup spoons (TBLspoons) of butter with one cup of sugar until fluffy. Mix in two eggs and three soupspoons juice from an orange. In a separate bowl, blend one and two-thirds cup of flour, a teaspoon baking powder, and half a teaspoon salt. Add to wet mixture along with one cup buttermilk. Blend well. Add one cup raisins, one half cup chopped walnuts and one soupspoon orange zest, finely chopped. Pour the mixture into a buttered pan and bake forty-five to fifty minutes (350 degrees). For the icing: Stir two soupspoons of orange juice and two cups powdered sugar together until the sugar dissolves completely and the icing is smooth. The icing should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it is too thick, add more liquid; if too thin, add a little sugar.
