INSTRUCTIONS
This is an old recipe from Land O' Lakes that my mom used to make back in the 1960's.

3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon grated orange rind
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 cup orange marmalade
3 cups flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup chopped nuts

Cream butter thoroughly. Add sugar, orange rind, and vanilla. Beat until mixture is light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in marmalade.

Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to creamed mixture alternately with combined orange juice and evaporated milk. Stir in chopped nuts, and blend.

Turn into a well-buttered 10-inch tube pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 55 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes, and remove. Served warm or cooled.
