Recipe View 10 mins Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer, then carefully place the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

For a more intense orange flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier) to the batter.
If you don't have superfine sugar, you can pulse regular granulated sugar in a food processor until it's finer.
Be careful not to over-bake the cake, as it can become dry. Start checking for doneness at 30 minutes.
For a glaze instead of frosting, whisk together confectioners' sugar with orange juice until you reach desired consistency. Drizzle over cooled cake.
