  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/3  c             Margarine
   3      tb            Light brown sugar -- packed
     2/3  c             Sugar
     1/3  ts            Vanilla extract
   2                    Eggs
   1 1/3  c             All-purpose flour
     1/2  ts            Baking soda
   2      ts            Double-acting baking powder
     1/2  ts            Salt
   2      c             Sour cream
     2/3  c             Milk
   1                    Orange -- * see note

* Peel orange, cut into quarters and thinly slice across the
  sections, or cut into a pretty pattern of your choice.

This is from a recipe I created many years ago. The cake has a
sponge-like texture, delicate, and light.

Cream margarine and sugars until light and fluffy. Blend in vanilla.
Beat in eggs one at a time.

Stir flour, salt, soda, and baking powder together thoroughly; blend
into creamed mixture alternately with 1/2 cup sour cream and milk.
Begin and end with flour.

Pour into greased and waxed paper-lined (grease the waxed paper
lightly also) 13x9x2" pan. Bake in preheated 350°F oven, 25 to
35 minutes or until done.

Cool completely before removing from pan.

Cut cake in half to form two layers 6-1/2 x 9". Spread 3/4 cup sour
cream over layer, arrange orange slices on sour cream. Top with
2nd layer. Garnish each serving with additional sour cream and orange
slices.

* The sour cream is an acquired taste. You may prefer to sweeten it
  with sugar or honey, or with a mix of half sour cream and half
  sweetened whipped cream.
