Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 120 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 80 milliliters Fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 60 milliliters Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Mix in the orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Don't worry if the mixture looks slightly curdled at this stage.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired, before slicing and serving.
