🍰 Step-by-Step Guide to Making Orange Creamsicle Cake

Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Equipment

✅ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
✅ Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Cake Batter

1️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

2️⃣ Cream Butter & Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until it becomes light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

3️⃣ Add Eggs & Flavoring:
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and orange zest for extra citrusy goodness.

4️⃣ Incorporate Orange Juice & Buttermilk:

Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the orange juice.
Alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
Mix until just combined—don’t overmix!

Step 3: Bake the Cake

✅ Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
✅ Bake for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
✅ Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
