Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cup all-purpose flour*
- 2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, very soft

Orange Glaze
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 cup Crystal Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar

- Add 1 egg at a time waiting for the previous added egg to be fully incorporated and mixture regains a smooth look.
- Add yolk, salt, and orange zest.
- Alternately add flour mixture and orange soda in 5 steps, starting with and ending with flour. Scrape batter into prepared pan and place in oven. After 15 minutes in oven reduce temperature to 325°F.
- Bake until center of cake bounces back when lightly pressed with a finger or an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. If cakes becomes too dark before being done, cover cake with a lightly buttered piece of foil.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before turning upside down on a serving platter.
- Prepare glaze by combining juice and powdered sugar, cover with plastic food wrap and set aside until cake has cooled.
- Brush cake with glaze and decorate with candied orange peel.
