Fremgangsmåde
Trin for trin
- 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.
Ca. 5 min.
Kokkens note: Using parchment paper guarantees the cakes will release easily from the pans.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Ca. 2 min.
- 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.
Ca. 3 min.
Kokkens note: Having your eggs and milk at room temperature helps them incorporate better into the batter for a more uniform texture.
- 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix with a spatula or whisk until just combined.
Ca. 2 min.
Kokkens note: Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
- 5
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
Ca. 2 min.
Kokkens note: For perfectly even layers, use a kitchen scale to weigh the batter in each pan.
- 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.
Ca. 30 min.
- 7
Let the cakes cool in their pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Ca. 10 min.
- 8
Carefully invert the cakes onto the wire rack, remove the pans and parchment paper, and let them cool completely, about 1 hour.
Ca. 1 t.
Kokkens note: The cakes must be completely cool before frosting, otherwise the frosting will melt.
- 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.
Ca. 3 min.
- 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.
Ca. 4 min.
- 11
Mix in the frosting's orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract until just combined.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: If the frosting is too thick, add more orange juice a teaspoon at a time. If too thin, add more powdered sugar.
- 12
Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand.
Ca. 1 min.
- 13
Spread about a third of the frosting evenly over the top of the first layer.
Ca. 2 min.
- 14
Carefully place the second cake layer on top.
Ca. 1 min.
- 15
Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake, using an offset spatula for a smooth finish.
Ca. 5 min.
- 16
If desired, sprinkle the optional garnish orange zest over the top of the cake.
Ca. 1 min.
- 17
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set before slicing and serving.
