🔗 Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl; set aside.
Beat white sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then beat in vanilla extract and orange zest.
Add flour alternately with sour cream in 3 additions, beginning and ending with flour.
Beat until smooth.
Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then unmold the cake onto the wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, bring orange juice, sugar, and orange zest to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat and cook until syrupy, about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Drizzle warm syrup over cake slices.
