Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice (for glaze)
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard Bundt pan or a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

To make the glaze, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth and pourable.

Step 9

Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides for decor.

Step 10

Sprinkle a light dusting of ground cinnamon over the glaze as garnish.

Step 11

Slice and serve the cake. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
