Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp grated orange zest
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
- 2 cups cake flour (you can also use all purpose flour)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour your bundt pan well. Note: don't skip this step or your cake may stick.
- Beat or whisk the sugar and zest together to combine.
- Beat in the eggs and oil until light and well combined, about 1 minute.
- With the mixer on low, blend in the orange juice.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder and blend in until just combined.
- Pour the batter (it will be thin) into your prepared bundt pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or just until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out without wet batter on it. Try not to over bake.
- Let the cake cool on a rack for 15 minutes, then loosen around all edges and invert.
- Let cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and slicing.
