Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs very well, one at a time. Beat in vanilla and orange rind. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, and add to batter alternately with the milk, ending with the flour. Spoon into a greased and floured 10" tube pan. Bake one hour or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool on a cookie sheet or wire rack for two minutes. Heat glaze ingredients in a small saucepan until sugar just dissolves. Pour the hot glaze over the hot cake and allow cake to cool thoroughly in the tube pan before removing.
