  Cake:  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour a   
fluted bundt pan.  With an electric mixer on low speed,     
blend flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.  Add butter,    
buttermilk and 3 eggs, and beat on low until dry            
ingredients are moistened.  Increase speed to high and beat 
2 minutes.  Scrape sides of bowl.  Add orange extract and   
zest and mix on medium.  Add remaining 3 eggs one at a      
time, and beat on high for 30 seconds after each addition.  
Pour batter in prepared pan and bake 50-60 minutes or until 
toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.               
  Glaze: In a small saucepan, heat orange juice, sugar and  
zest over low heat.  Stir until sugar dissolves.  To serve: 
when cake is done, remove from oven and leave cake in pan.  
Poke holes in cake with a skewer.  Pour half of glaze over  
cake and cool cake in pan 15 minutes. Invert on cooling     
rack.  Brush top of cake with remaining orange glaze and    
cool to room temperature.
