Orange Sour Cream Loaf Cake

I am writing this post with one eye almost shut and the other seems to be going in the same direction. I’m so sleepy right now but I have to finish writing this post because I am a professional blogger (giggling). I will probably regret this in the morning when I re-read this post. I better speed up and write a little more about my Orange Sour Cream Loaf Cake.

How to make Orange Sour Cream Loaf Cake?

Before talking about this cake, there is an important thing which I want you to keep in mind, ……………………… …………. (trying to remember.)  …………. Oh, yes! Since the star of this recipe is orange, get a fresh orange that has vibrant color and smells like fresh orange, in this Orange Sour Cream Loaf Cake, the zest and the juice of an orange is used, if the orange tasted bad, believe me, you will taste it in the cake.

OMG! I just dozed off, LOL.

The oil used in this cake will keep it moist for a long time. When the cake cools and you taste a slice, believe it or not, you will taste butter, don’t ask me how (especially now.) but I guess the sour cream combined with the other ingredients might have contributed to the buttery taste.
