For a more intense orange flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier) to the batter. If you don't have superfine sugar, you can pulse regular granulated sugar in a food processor until it's finer. Be careful not to over-bake the cake, as it can become dry. Start checking for doneness at 30 minutes. For a glaze instead of frosting, whisk together confectioners' sugar with orange juice until you reach desired consistency. Drizzle over cooled cake.
