Mom loved to bake—from the time I can remember, every Saturday she was in the kitchen creating another wonderful cake or pie. This tender orange cake bakes up deep golden brown and is a favorite of mine, my friends and my family. To make it even more special, serve slices with ice cream or a drizzle of Curacao. —Patricia Wright, Stratford, New Jersey

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
6 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup 2% milk
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
GLAZE:
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup orange juice
Chopped candied orange peel, additional powdered sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 10-in. fluted tube pan.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in orange zest and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition (batter may appear curdled).
Transfer to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes.
Poke holes in warm cake using a fork or wooden skewer. Mix confectioners' sugar, melted butter and orange juice; spoon slowly over cake. Cool 15 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack; cool completely. Serve with candied orange peel and additional confectioners' sugar.

Editor’s Note: To remove cakes easily, use solid shortening to grease plain and fluted tube pans.
