Ingredients

1 large navel orange, cut into 8 wedges
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

2/3 cup buttermilk
GLAZE:

2 tablespoons orange juice

Directions

In a food processor, combine the orange, raisins and pecans. Cover and process until mixture is finely chopped; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Stir in orange mixture.

This cake was excellent. It was moist and very tasty. I didn't have buttermilk on hand, so I substituted 1/3 cup non-fat yoghurt and 1/3 cup of orange juice and it came out beautifully. It cooked in 45 minutes.
