Preparation

Lower the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray the inside of a 10 inch bundt pan with nonstick spray or grease thoroughly with butter. Set aside.

Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together. Set aside.

Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy – about 1 minute.

Add the sugar and beat on high speed for 2 minutes until creamed together.

Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.

Add the eggs and the vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed until combined. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed.

Beat in the orange zest and juice.

With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the buttermilk and mixing each addition just until incorporated.

Do not overmix. The batter will be slightly thick.

Pour or spoon the batter evenly into the bundt pan. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Cover the cake loosely with aluminum foil if you begin to see the top browning quickly.

Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes inside the pan.

Invert the slightly cooled bundt cake onto a wire rack set over a large plate or serving dish.

Allow cake to cool before glazing and serving.

Whisk the confectioners’ sugar, 2 tablespoons of orange juice, and vanilla together. It will be very thick.

Whisk in 1 or more tablespoons of juice, depending on the desired thickness of the glaze.

Drizzle over the cake.

Slice and serve.
