Amazing Orange Cake

 

Instructions:

 

  1. Preheat the oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients:
    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Prepare the wet ingredients:
    In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, orange juice, oil (or melted butter), eggs, vanilla extract, and orange zest until smooth and combined.
  4. Combine the ingredients:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Bake the cake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
    Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  6. Cool the cake:
    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Make the orange glaze (optional):
    In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
  8. Serve and enjoy:
    Slice and serve your Amazing Orange Cake! It pairs beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee.

This cake is guaranteed to be a hit, with its light and fluffy texture and bright orange flavor!
