MY ORIGINAL RECIPE for ORANGE ALMOND CAKE with CREAM CHEESE ICING

My dear Momma was a caterer.  
She and her best friend were fabulous cooks .   They used to make ORANGE ALMOND PUNCH for celebrations such as Wedding Receptions, Graduation parties, Baby Showers, Retirement parties , etc.  It was so delicious that I developed a cake to taste like it.  I am sharing the recipes for both; the cake today and the punch is next . 
                              In Loving Memory of My Mom, Dorothy.
