In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and orange juice; beat well.

This tasted fine, not great, but good. However, I must have done something terribly wrong because slicing it was impossible. Even though I followed every detail of the instructions, it totally crumbled even after it was completely cooled.
