Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 large orange
  • For the Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar and softened butter together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the 1/2 cup orange juice, milk, and vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the liquid mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Stir in the orange zest.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  9. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. To make the easy citrus glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of orange juice until smooth.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh-squeezed orange juice for the best, brightest flavor in both the cake and the glaze.
  • For a more intense citrus flavor, use the zest of two oranges.
  • This moist orange cake keeps well covered at room temperature for up to three days.
