Ingredients

ORANGE LOAF CAKE

  • 1/2 cup Butter softened
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Orange Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Orange Zest
  • 1½ cups Cake Flour
  • 1½ tablespoons Powdered Whip Topping Mix
  • 1¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 4 ounces Sour Cream

ORANGE DRIZZLE GLAZE

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Orange Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Grated Orange Zest

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325ºF and grease a 9x3 loaf pan, bundt pan, or tube pan with butter. Gently shake extra cake flour into the greased pan to coat the bottom and sides. Dump an access flour out (if you're making a bundt cake or using a tube pan make sure to DOUBLE the recipe).
  • Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed, for 10 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs 1 at a time into the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition.
  • Pour the orange juice and orange zest into the mixer and mix until combined.
  • In a medium-sized bowl whisk the cake flour, powdered whipped topping mix, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • Starting with the flour mixture pour 1/3 of the mixture into the mixing bowl and stir to combine. Then add 1/2 of the sour cream into the mixing bowl and mix until incorporated. Repeat until both the flour and sour cream are fully added into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently use a spatula to even the top. Place in the oven on the center rack to cook for 1 hour to 1 and 15 minute, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let cool for 10 mintues before removing from the pan.
  • In a small bowl whisk the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest together until fully combined. Once the loaf or cake has cooled drizzle on top.

Notes

This recipe can easily be made into a standard cake shape. DOUBLE the recipe and pour the batter into a bundt cake pan or a tube pan.
