Combine butter and sugar in a mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at time, beating well between each addition until it’s smooth and creamy. Add the orange zest and sour cream.
In a Medium bowl sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add the sifted flour mixture to the creamed sugar mixture, alternating with orange juice, until all the flour and all the orange juice has been added.
