ORANGE Sheet Cake

This recipe is pretty simple and is another of my Shoebox Recipes. 

Looking it over, I only say that it looks good, and I honestly cannot remember eating it. I am sure I did, if for no other reason, just because we kept a hand-written copy of the recipe, that someone else wrote down, not my wife or I. we only do this when we have asked for a copy because we really liked the dish.

This recipe makes 12 servings and after reviewing the ingredients and directions, it should be really easy to make.
