Instructions

1. Cake:
2. Pre-heat oven to 350*, thoroughly grease bundt cake pan, set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, set aside.
4. In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice, buttermilk, orange extract, and vanilla, set aside.
5. Using a stand-up mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and 2 cups of granulated sugar on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
6. Add eggs one at a time until fully corporated.
7. Remove bowl from mixer, using a rubber spatula fold 1/2 orange juice mixture alternately with flour mixture to into beaten eggs mixture, folding until all cake ingredients are combined. Scrape sides until well incorporated but don't overmix.
8. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared bundt pan, bake for 40-45 minutes until done. If using a toothpick, insert, and if a few crumbs remain that's ok. Allow cake to cool at least 15-30 minutes before removing from bundt pan.
9. Combine 1/2 cup sugar with saved 1/2 cup orange juice in a bowl and microwave for 1 min or so, until sugar dissolves. Gently remove cake from bundt pan and invert onto a serving plate. Slowly drizzle the sugar/orange mixture over the cake and allow the cake to cool completely.
10. Orange Glaze:
11. Whisk together confectioner sugar and orange juice until smooth, if too thick add another tablespoon of orange juice to thin enough to pour over the cake.
12. *You can make your own buttermilk by added 1/2 tablespoon to 3/4 cup of milk, stir and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
