Method of preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated. Stir in the orange zest and orange juice. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and placing on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost with your favorite frosting or a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and orange juice.
