Summer is in full swing! There’s nothing like an iced cold beverage and a sweet treat in the dead of heat. Tampico Tropical Punch is refreshing on a hot summer day and only contains 30 calories per serving! It features some irresistible fruity flavors, namely cherry, orange and pineapple. I’ve been craving a sweet treat for the past couple of weeks now. I wanted something that tasted like summer, so I decided to bake an orange pound cake. I love baking with citrus flavors. I don’t bake often, but when I do, I usually stick to using lemons in my recipes, but I decided to try a recipe using oranges which is one of my favorite fruits.
This easy pound cake is baked in a loaf pan, so it’s relatively small and just the right size for many families. It is flavored with fresh-squeezed orange juice and orange zest which gives it an amazing orange flavor and makes it bright and sunny.
Pair a slice of this cake, with a nice cup of tea, for a delicious tea time treat.
