Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons orange zest
• 0.25 cups fresh orange juice
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and use an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, orange zest, and fresh orange juice.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until well combined and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the cake cools, prepare the orange glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, fresh orange juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.

Step 10

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to run down the sides.

Step 11

Let the glaze set for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
