For Cake:
3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt (not table salt)
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) softened just to room temp
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
4 extra large eggs, room temp
1/3 cup fresh orange zest, from approx 6 oranges
3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, from approx 3 oranges, divided

This recipe goes a lot quicker if you juice and zest the oranges before starting with the recipe.
For best results, make cake the night before, so it has time to cool overnight and set up nicely.
Cake can be kept airtight in fridge for several days; let come to room temp before serving.
