2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2Grease and flour a 10-12 cup bundt pan thoroughly, ensuring all crevices are coated to prevent sticking.

10Then invert the pan onto the rack and carefully remove the cake.
11Allow it to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
12In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, Galliano liqueur, orange juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
