This recipe reflects the Southern practice of adding a bit of liqueur or other spirits to a cake to ensure it stays moist and delicious. This recipe first appeared in the beloved cookbook, Tea-Time at the Masters, in 1977. While the original recipe called for the cake to be baked in a tube pan, we opted for mini Bundt Pans for a tea party-worthy presentation. The orange liqueur glaze gives the simple orange pound cake an explosion of flavor. Victor Protasio; Prop Styling: Kay E.
