California Sunshine Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 oranges
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup butter, softened (do NOT use low fat margarines)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 cups white flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Preparation

Juice the oranges, reserving juice for topping.
Put the orange rind, the raisins and the nuts through the medium blade of a meat grinder (or process with steel blade in food processor until a coarse grind is achieved).
Combine butter and sugar in mixer bowl and beat together until fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time and continue beating until completely incorporated.
Combine salt, flour and baking soda and sift together.
Add flour and buttermilk alternately in 3 portions, mixing on low after each addition.
Fold in orange, raisin, nut mixture until completely combined.
Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9\" X 13\" pan or a bundt pan.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean.
While cake is still hot, pierce all over with a fork.
Mix orange juice, sugar and cinnamon and carefully pour mixture over cake. (This is harder on the bundt cake -- be patient).
When cake has cooled, remove from pan.
Refrigerate leftover cake.
