• Preheat the oven at 350° F.
• Grease an 8x½-inch or 9-inch loaf pan with butter, and then add a teaspoon of flour. Rotate and tap the pan until flour covers the greased surface and discard the excess flour.
• Alternatively, grease the pan with non-stick oil spray.
• Melt the butter on low-medium heat in a small saucepan. Or microwave for 30-40 seconds on high. Set aside.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk well for at least 30 seconds.
• Add sugar and stir well to combine.
• In a mixing bowl or measuring cup, add yogurt, milk, vanilla, and orange zest.
• Mix everything well until the mixture is smooth.
• Add melted butter to the yogurt mixture and mix well.
• In the dry ingredients, add the wet mixture in three batches, mix until well combined.
• Do not overmix.
• Transfer the batter into a prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula or spoon.
• Bake this cake for 40-50 minutes or until the inserted cake tester or toothpick in the center comes out clean.
• Because every oven is different, keep an eye on the cake after 40 minutes of baking time.
• If the top of your cake is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
• Remove the pan from the oven and transfer it onto a cooling rack.
• Allow the cake to cool down in the pan for about 20-25 minutes. Then remove the cake from the pan and place it on the cooling rack.
• Let the pound cake cool completely before slicing.
