Heaping 1/2 cup superfine sugar
6 tablespoons soft unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
2 extra-large eggs
2/3 cup self-rising flour
1 scant teaspoons baking powder
1 large juicy orange
1 tablespoon Cointreau
5 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon Cointreau
7 to 8 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

1
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the sugar and butter together until creamy.
2
Beat in the eggs.
3
Sift the flour and baking powder over the mixture and fold them in lightly.
4
Grate the zest of the orange and squeeze out the juice.
5
Stir zest, juice, and Cointreau into the batter.
6
Then grease a 5-cup bread pan and spoon in the batter.
7
Knock the pan against the countertop to settle the contents.
8
Bake for about 50 minutes, until the cake is firm but bouncy to the touch and the blade of a knife inserted into it comes out clean.
9
Leave it to cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then unmold onto a dish.
10
Meanwhile, prepare the glazing.
11
In a small saucepan, gently warm the orange juice and Cointreau.
12
Stir in the confectioners' sugar.
13
Using a pastry brush, paint the glaze over the cake--some of the glaze will seep in, the rest will form a light crust.
14
Serve cold.
