| 4 1/2 | tsp vanilla extract |

Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a bundt pan to prepare it for the batter.
-
Cream together the butter and 2-1/4 cups of sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.

Add the cake flour, baking powder, and salt to the creamed mixture, and mix until well combined.

Incorporate the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and orange zest into the batter, stirring until smooth and evenly combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
-
Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
While the cake is cooling, prepare the orange glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice with the remaining 2 cups of sugar.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved completely.
-
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the glaze for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
-
Poke holes all over the cooled cake using a toothpick.
-
Slowly pour the warm orange glaze over the cake, allowing it to soak in.

Let the cake sit for 30 minutes to absorb the glaze fully.
