Notes

For extra flavor, add more orange zest to the cake batter. Make sure to let the cake cool before adding the glaze to prevent it from melting away. You can use fresh orange juice for a brighter flavor, but store-bought works just fine. To store, keep covered at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for about a week in an airtight container. This cake can also be frozen for up to three months if wrapped tightly.
