3 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel
1/2 cup granulated sugar

3. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in pan on wire rack. Remove from pan and place on wire rack. Place wire rack over a baking sheet. Using a long wooden skewer, prick the hot cake several times all over the cake.

Spoon any syrup that falls on the baking sheet onto the cake. Cool completely. Transfer to a serving platter.
