• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup orange oil
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp orange rind
• 1/3 cup milk

Directions

• Whip the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
• In a bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (oil, milk, vanilla, orange rind).
• In another bowl, stir together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt).
• Add half of the dry ingredients to the egg/sugar mixture and mix on low until just incorporated.
• Add the wet ingredients, again mixing on low until just incorporated.
• Add the remaining dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Pour the batter into a greased bundt pan.
• Bake at 350F for about 40-45 minutes.
• Combine all the ingredients for the glaze (except the powdered sugar) in a small saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves.
• With the cake still in the pan, pour half of the glaze (about 1/2 cup) over it.
• Allow the cake to cool in the pan before removing it.
• Add the powdered sugar to the remaining glaze and drizzle over the cooled cake.
