Zesty Orange Delight: Easy Orange Cake Recipe

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a bowl, whisk 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Cream ½ cup butter and ¾ cup sugar until light and fluffy.

Add 2 eggs, one at a time, followed by 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Mix in the zest of 1 orange and ½ cup fresh orange juice.

Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, alternating with ¼ cup milk.

Pour batter into the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden.

Let cool, then top with a simple orange glaze made from powdered sugar and juice.
