4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the orange juice, vanilla and salt. Beat in the flour. Pour batter into prepared pan.
