The summery citrus flavors of this classic, easy-to-make pound cake will brighten up any season or event. This vintage recipe, which makes 2 loaves or 1 tube or bundt cake, was first published in 1931 in Swans Down’s New Cake Secrets recipe book.
What would be the time and temp for using a Bundt cake pan?
Hi Carl, To bake the Orange Pound Cake in a Bundt or tube pan we'd suggest to bake at 325 until a wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Remove cake from oven and cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. Happy baking
I love quick breads! I will make this. Love swans down!
I love your cake flour.

I think I have the Swans Down recipe book from 1931.
Can you make this as cupcakes
Hi Patricia,
Pound cake recipes are not always perfect for cupcakes. They can be slightly spongy and sticky on top. Mini Bundts may work better. Happy baking!
This cake is so light and delicious. Everybody loved it.
Can this Orange Pound Cake be made in a round cake pan?
Hi Annette, Yes you should be able to bake the Orange Pound Cake recipe in 2 9" round pans without any problems. The cake may bake quicker so we recommend that you begin testing at 20-25 minutes. Happy baking!
I don't see where the Bourbon Orange Glaze Recipe is at.
Hi Janet, The recipe for the glaze follows the cake recipe. Happy baking!
what can you use in place of the bourbon?
Hi Jed, You can add an additional 2 ounces of orange juice and if you have it available use bourbon extract (no alcohol) or eliminate it all together. Happy baking!
