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

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