Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Grease and flour a 10- to 12-cup tube pan.
Beat the butter until creamy. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until very fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
Stir in the flour. Mix in the cardamom, orange and lemon zests and the vanilla. Pour the batter into the pan.
