🍳 How to cook (8 servings):

Cooking Time: 30 minsPreperation Time: 30 mins

Prepare the Cake Batter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix together eggs, milk, oil, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Divide the batter evenly between two greased and floured cake pans.

Bake the Cake

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Frosting

For the frosting, beat butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, orange juice, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach desired consistency.

Assemble the Cake

Once the cakes are completely cooled, level them if necessary. Place one cake layer on your serving plate and spread a layer of frosting over it. Top with the second cake layer and cover the entire cake with frosting. Decorate as desired.
