Ingredients
Alright, here’s what you’re gonna need to whip this beauty up:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (for frosting)
- 2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
- Decorative orange slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Time to get down to business! Here’s how to put this cake together:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the fresh orange juice. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add the powdered sugar until well combined.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the whipped cream frosting on top, and get fancy with some decorative orange slices for that finishing touch.
And there you have it! A scrumptious, creamy orange cake that’s sure to impress everyone at the table. Enjoy every bite, and share the love with those around you. Happy baking!
