*Combine sifted flour, juice, eggs and oil. Beat with electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute and then medium for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the pan.
*Bake at 350 degree F for 30 minutes if using a cupcake pan. For bundt pan baking time is 40-45 minutes. When the cake is fluffed up and there are subtle cracks on the surface, the cake is done.
