Elaboració

Pas a pas

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with parchment paper.

    Uns 5 min

    Nota de cuina: Using parchment paper guarantees the cakes will release easily from the pans.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    Uns 2 min

  3. 3

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, whole milk, the cake's orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Uns 3 min

    Nota de cuina: Having your eggs and milk at room temperature helps them incorporate better into the batter for a more uniform texture.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix with a spatula or whisk until just combined.

    Uns 2 min

    Nota de cuina: Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.

  5. 5

    Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.

    Uns 2 min

    Nota de cuina: For perfectly even layers, use a kitchen scale to weigh the batter in each pan.

  6. 6

    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.

    Uns 30 min

  7. 7

    Let the cakes cool in their pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

    Uns 10 min

  8. 8

    Carefully invert the cakes onto the wire rack, remove the pans and parchment paper, and let them cool completely, about 1 hour.

    Uns 1 h

    Nota de cuina: The cakes must be completely cool before frosting, otherwise the frosting will melt.

  9. 9

    To make the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.

    Uns 3 min

  10. 10

    Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the sifted powdered sugar. Once incorporated, increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.

    Uns 4 min

  11. 11

    Mix in the frosting's orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract until just combined.

    Uns 1 min

    Nota de cuina: If the frosting is too thick, add more orange juice a teaspoon at a time. If too thin, add more powdered sugar.

  12. 12

    Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand.

    Uns 1 min

  13. 13

    Spread about a third of the frosting evenly over the top of the first layer.

    Uns 2 min

  14. 14

    Carefully place the second cake layer on top.

    Uns 1 min

  15. 15

    Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake, using an offset spatula for a smooth finish.

    Uns 5 min

  16. 16

    If desired, sprinkle the optional garnish orange zest over the top of the cake.

    Uns 1 min

  17. 17

    Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set before slicing and serving.
