Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, or until a wooden pick comes out clean.

Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then invert, remove, and cool completely before piercing it all over.

Remove from heat, then stir in orange zest and liqueur.

Spoon the warm glaze over the cooled, pierced cake, allowing it to soak in.
