Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons orange juice (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a bundt cake pan thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, and sour cream until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the orange glaze evenly over the top of the cake.
Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
