Since no one knew where it had gone.

Very simple batter.
1 Tablespoon butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup milk. Beat together and pour into a 8X8 pan.

Sauce.
1 TBS butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2/3 cup boiling water, and juice of 2 oranges. Pour over batter. I hold a cerial spoon just over the batter while pouring the sauce into the pan. BAke at 350 for 30 minutes.

My additions were to zest the oranges and mix about 2 TBS grated orange sest into the dry batter ingredients, Then add most of the orange pulp into the better just before pouring it intot he pan.

Easy recipe. This was the first desert I baked. Fun to have the batter and sauce switch positions while baking.
