Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1 cup of sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup of fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon of zest of 2 oranges
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of powdered sugar (for glaze)
2–3 tablespoons of additional fresh orange juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in the fresh orange juice, zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with enough orange juice to create a pourable glaze. Drizzle it over the cooled cake and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
