Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

  5. Add the large egg to the butter and sugar mixture and beat well until fully incorporated.
  6. Mix in the fresh orange juice, fresh orange zest, and vanilla extract into the wet ingredients.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. For the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  11. Transfer the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Tips
