Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the orange zest.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the freshly squeezed orange juice and milk. Mix until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• While the cake is baking, prepare the orange glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, freshly squeezed orange juice, and orange zest until smooth.
• Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Drizzle the orange glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
• Slice and serve the delicious orange cake.
