Feb 02, 2023 09:22 AM
There is plenty of fresh orange going on in this fresh orange layer cake. Freshly squeezed orange juice and grated orange zest are in both the cake and the buttercream. You can expect it to have a wonderful orange flavor.
It’s not your typical chocolate or vanilla cake. Orange is a flavor that you don’t see often, but it’s a wonderful deviation from the norm.
