Melt butter or margarine in boiling water in
medium bowl. Sift flour, soda, baking powder, and salt together. Add
orange juice, grated rind, sugar, and vanilla to butter and water.
Add slightly beaten egg. Sift dry ingredients over orange mixture,
add nuts, and stir until moist (batter will be lumpy).
Pour into greased and floured 4 x 8 inch loaf pan and bake at 350
degrees for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from
pan and cool on wire rack.
Wrap in waxed paper and store. Slices best on second day. Great for
cream cheese sandwiches.
