How to Make Tangy Orange Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the eggs, oil, orange juice, and orange zest. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. While the cake is still warm, use a fork to poke holes all over the top.
  6. Pour the prepared glaze evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in completely.
  7. Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. For best results, let it sit overnight to allow the glaze to fully permeate the cake.
