Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoon Orange zest
• ¹⁄₂ cup Orange juice
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• 2 tablespoon Orange liqueur (optional)
• 2 tablespoon Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the orange zest.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the orange juice and milk. Mix until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once the cake is cooled, poke several holes on the top with a toothpick or skewer. Drizzle the orange liqueur over the cake, if desired.
8. Let the cake rest for about 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
