1 cup unsalted butter
3 cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs, well beaten
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup milk
1 Tbsp pure orange extract
1 Tbsp vanilla
FROSTING:
1/3 cup butter
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tsp freshly grated orange zest
2 cups powdered sugar
Preheat the oven to 325ยบ. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan, 12-cup Bundt pan, or 12-cup angel food cake pan. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy in a large bowl. Add the beaten eggs and mix well. Sift the flour and baking powder in small amounts into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, making sure to start and end with the milk. Stir in the flavorings. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool on a wire rack. Once the cake has cooled slightly, mix the frosting by blending all of the ingredients until smooth. Drizzle the frosting over the cake. Yield: 12 servings.
