Steps:

• Beat sugar and butter with mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Add half the buttermilk and drop the small pinch of baking soda into the buttermilk. Beat vigorously. Blend in half the flour. Stir in remaining buttermilk and beat again. Beat in remainder of flour. Add vanilla (and orange extract, if desired) and blend well. Pour into a well-greased and flour-dusted 1 1/2-pint baking dish and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Editor's Extra: Always get your cake into the oven as soon as you have finished mixing it. Baking soda and baking powder start working at once, so don't let the cake sit on the counter-it needs to get in the oven quickly. And know, too, that baking powder loses its strength after about 6 months, so it's a good idea to test it. Stir a teaspoonful into a half cup of hot water, and if it does not bubble up, it's time to replace it.

STIR-IN-THE-PAN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Pour oil into 9x13-inch pan. Tilt pan until bottom is covered with oil. Pour cake mix, eggs, water, and pudding into pan. Stir with fork or spoon until blended. Scrape sides and spread batter evenly in pan. Sprinkle on chocolate chips and nuts. Bake at 350° for 35-45 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cut and serve directly from pan. Editor's Extra: My favorite part of this recipe is that there is no clean-up till after the cake is gone! Well, okay, the measuring cup and the fork. But it's worth it!
