Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the inside of a Bundt pan with the baking spray and set aside
Step 2
In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and 2 cups of the granulated sugar on medium speed for 5 minutes, until light yellow and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, vanilla, and orange zest, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
Step 3
Sift the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a medium bowl. In another bowl, add 1/4 cup of the orange juice to the buttermilk. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture in thirds, beginning and ending with the flour. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well mixed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean
Step 4
Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the remaining 1/2 cup of orange juice in a small saucepan and cook over high heat until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a baking rack set over a large plate. Spoon the warm orange syrup slowly over the cake, allowing it to be absorbed into the cake. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to cool
Step 5
For the glaze, whisk the confectioners' sugar and orange juice together in a small bowl, adding a little more sugar or orange juice as needed to make a smooth, thick, but pourable glaze. Drizzle over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Transfer to a flat cake plate and serve at room temperature
