Mix the butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a mixer or food processor for 2 minutes until creamy. Wash the orange in hot water, dry it, and then grate the entire orange. Mix this with the flour, baking powder, and salt and add to the egg mixture. Add 4 tablespoons of Cointreau and mix for another 2 minutes until a smooth batter forms.

For the glaze, squeeze the orange. Mix 1 tablespoon of orange juice with 1 tablespoon of Cointreau and add enough powdered sugar to form a thick mixture.
