- Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsps Baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsps Orange zest
- ¾ cup Orange juice
Preparation steps
1.
Preheat the oven to 350° F / 175º C. Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment and then butter the parchment.
2.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt.
3.
Beat the butter and sugar on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating on medium speed until incorporated and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the vanilla and orange zest and beat until incorporated.
4.
With the mixer on low, alternately add the flour mixture in 3 additions, and 3/4 cup orange juice in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour.
5.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, then tap the pan on the counter a couple of times to pop any air pockets. Bake until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
6.
Let the cake cool in its pan on a rack for 10 minutes, run a knife around the sides, then invert it onto the rack. Remove the parchment and invert again. Let the cake cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing and serving.
