Recipe View Let the cake cool completely in the pan overnight before inverting it onto a serving plate. This allows the glaze to fully penetrate and the cake to set properly. (480+ minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider adding 1/4 cup of dark rum or bourbon to the orange juice glaze.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1/2 cup of milk. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using.
To prevent the cake from sticking, you can also line the bottom of the tube pan with parchment paper in addition to greasing and flouring it.
This cake is best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
