- 3 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons orange extract
- 6 eggs
- 4 cups flour
- 1⁄2 cup orange juice
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
-
Orange glaze
- 1 teaspoon pure orange extract
- 2 -3 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 1⁄2 cups confectioners' sugar
directions

- With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar.

- In a separate bowl, or measuring cup, stir the baking powder into the remaining 2 cups flour.
- Add to the batter and beat well.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 60 to 75 minutes.
- Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes.

- Cool for another 10-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze.
- Sstir the orange extract and the orange juice into the sugar with a fork, adding the orange juice a tablespoon at a time. Use just enough to produce a thick, smooth mixture.
- Spread the glaze over the cake with a pastry brush while the cake is still warm or drizzle it on in a lacy pattern.
