Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Grease and lightly flour loaf pans.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. Measure buttermilk, orange juice, and vanilla into a measuring cup. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat the butter until creamy.
  6. Blend in sugar and beat for a few minutes until light and fluffy.
  7. Mix in eggs, one at a time, and orange zest, and beat until well incorporated.
  8. With mixer on low, slowly pour in 1/3 of the flour mixture.
  9. Mix in half of the buttermilk mixture.
  10. Blend in another 1/3 of the flour mixture and remaining buttermilk mixture.
  11. Add remaining flour mixture and mix until just blended.
  12. Divide batter between prepared pans, filling about 3/4 full, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes (45 minutes if using a large loaf pan) or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  13. While loaves bake, prepare orange simple syrup.
  14. Stir together 1/2 cup orange juice and 1/2 cup brown sugar in a small pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat while occasionally stirring, then reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes.
  15. Remove pot from heat and set aside to cool.
  16. When cakes are done, cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto wire rack. Set rack over a sheet pan or piece of foil, and using a brush or a spoon, soak each cake with simple syrup. Allow to cool completely.
  17. Store in an airtight container or wrap tightly.
