Ingredients
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter,
- softened 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 tsps finely grated fresh orange zest (peel)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda Confectioners sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 deg F. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking pan and line bottom with wax paper, then lightly butter paper.
- Beat together butter, sugar, and zest in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating until just incorporated. Whisk in sour cream and orange juice, then add remaining ingredients (except confectioners sugar), whisking until just combined.
- Transfer batter to baking pan and bake in middle of oven until golden and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30-40 mins.
- Cool cake in pan on rack for 10 mins, then turn out onto rack. Discard paper and cool. Dust with confectioners sugar.
Quick Notes
Orange glaze: 1/8th cup orange juice and 1/2 cup sugar dissolved over low heat. Make holes all around in the ready cake with a tooth-pick and drizzle the glaze over it.
