  200 g butter, 200 g powdered sugar, orange zest
  
• Mix them together for a few minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy.
  
• Add eggs one by one to the whipped butter, mixing briefly on low speed after each addition.

Step 3 - Baking the Orange Cake

• Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes - until a dry skewer test.
• After baking, let the cake rest for about 10 minutes, then carefully remove it from the mold and leave to cool completely.

Step 4 - preparing the orange glaze for the cake

• Sift the powdered sugar into a bowl, add orange juice in portions, and mix until all the sugar is combined and you get a thick but slightly pourable glaze.
  150 g powdered sugar, approx 3 tablespoons orange juice
  
• Pour the glaze over the top of the cake.
  
• Finally, you can sprinkle the cake with orange zest - grated or, for example, candied.
