Ingredients  

For the pound cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup Florida’s Natural® No-Pulp Orange Juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 5 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 

For the glaze:

  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 Tablespoons Florida's Natural No-Pulp Orange Juice, plus more as needed

Instructions 

Make the cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and lightly flour a 10- or 12-cup bundt pan. 
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. 
  • Add the sugar and beat until smooth, about 1 minute. 
  • Add the sour cream, orange juice and vanilla extract and beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed between each addition, just until combined.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt and beat just until combined. 
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the cake is dark golden, 70 to 80 minutes.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. While the cake cools, make the glaze.

Make the glaze:

  • Sift the confectioners’ sugar into a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and orange juice and whisk until smooth. The glaze should be able to be drizzled into thick ribbons.
  • Invert the cake pan on to a serving platter to release the cake. Drizzle it with the glaze and let it set for 10 minutes, and then slice and serve.
