A decadent, tangy pound cake that’s super versatile and perfect for warm weather. This cake features a delightful combination of orange juice and zest, complemented by a honey glaze, making it a delicious treat.
1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2: Butter and flour a 2 bread loaf pan; set aside.
3: Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; add vanilla, salt, and orange zest.
5: With mixer on low, gradually add flour, beating just until combined (do not overmix).
6: Divide the mixture evenly between the two loaf pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes (tent with aluminum foil if browning too quickly).
7: Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
8: In a small sauce pot, simmer the honey and orange juice for about ten minutes and set aside.
9: With a knife or skewer stick, poke holes throughout the cake to help the glaze run into every nook and cranny.
10: Place the cake on a serving plate and slowly pour the glaze over the cake allowing it to seep in.
