- 4 cups SELF RISING flour
- 2 Tablespoons grated orange peel
- 1 cup broken pecans

- Sauce Directions:
- Mix the sauce ingredients and heat making sure the sugar is dissolved.
- When cake is done make holes all over the cake using a toothpick or ice pick.
- Loosen sides of cake with a knife so the sauce goes all over the cake top and sides.
