Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Mix in the orange zest and vanilla essence.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the orange juice and milk.
• Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the orange juice mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
• If using, add orange food color from Anuja Food Colours to the batter and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of orange juice until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more orange juice, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
• Stir in the orange zest if using.
• Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the orange glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides.
• Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy your delicious, orange-colored cake!
