Make the cake: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand beater), cream the butter and sugar on low speed until smooth, 3–4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating to incorporate between each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again, then add the sour cream, vanilla, and orange extract and beat to incorporate.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Shake and drop the pan onto the counter a couple times to release any air bubbles. Transfer to the oven and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert the cake from the pan and let cool for at least 30 minutes more.
