  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup oil (extra-virgin olive oil, canola, or blood orange evoo)
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice

Orange Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 - 8- ounce Pkg. Cream Cheese softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another mixing bowl, cream oil, orange juice, eggs, sour cream, and orange zest until completely mixed.
  4. Fold in dry ingredients, mixing only until combined.
  5. Generously grease your non-stick cake pans with non-stick cooking spray or grease them with butter and flour. Pour batter into greased (3) 8-inch or (2) 9-inch cake pans.
  6. Bake for 19-21 minutes, depending on the size of pan used. To test if the cakes are done, insert a toothpick in the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cakes are done. Let cool for 15 minutes before removing from pans.
  7. To make frosting:
  8. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese for 4 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down sides of the bowl halfway through mixing. Stir in powdered sugar, orange zest, and orange juice.
  9. Once cakes are cooled, frost with orange cream cheese frosting.
