2 cups white sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 Tablespoons grated orange rind
5 eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
pinch of salt
3/4 cup milk

Butter and flour a 10" (2 piece) tube pan and set aside. In an electric mixer cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla, orange rind and eggs (one at a time) and continue beating for a minute or two. Add remaining mixed dry ingredients alternately with the milk and continue beating another minute. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake 350 degrees for 1 hour (test with skewer)

Glaze: 1/4 cup butter or margarine
