Fresh Orange Bunt Cake

    If there's one thing we know in Florida, it's oranges! I am SOOOO in love with this cake recipe!  The whole apartment still smells like orange goodness. Nothing compares to the smell of freshly zested oranges. You won't need an electric mixer for this one, just make sure to sift the dry ingredients to make it easier to whisk together.

For the icing-

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, zest, oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla.
