Ingredients

All-purpose flour
Granulated sugar
Baking powder
Salt
Unsalted butter
Eggs
Fresh orange juice
Orange zest
Powdered sugar (for drizzle)
Additional fresh orange juice (for drizzle)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a rectangular baking tin with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in fresh orange juice and zest until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
While the cake cools slightly in the tin, mix powdered sugar with additional fresh orange juice until smooth for the drizzle.
Once cooled completely, remove from the tin and generously drizzle over the orange glaze. Cut into squares and serve.
