  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

  4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. For the frosting, beat the softened butter in a bowl until fluffy. Gradually mix in powdered sugar until combined.
  8. Add in the heavy cream and optional orange extract, then beat until smooth and creamy.
  9. Frost the top of the first cake layer, stack the second layer on top, and frost the entire cake.
  10. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure your eggs and butter are at room temperature for easy mixing. Experiment with the frosting by adding more orange zest or lemon zest for a citrus mix.
