Mix the wet ingredients, then alternate additions of the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients. 5. Whisk together the buttermilk, orange zest, and juice, and vanilla. Add one-third of the dry ingredients and incorporate on low speed, then increase the speed to medium. Mix for 1 minute. Add half of the buttermilk mixture and mix briefly to incorporate, then turn the speed down to low.
