How to Make Orange Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the zest of 1 large orange.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in ½ cup fresh orange juice.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared tube pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 25 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
