The most velvety soft ORANGE CAKE I've ever had

IMPORTANT: In the video I mention 90g or 3/4s of a cup of milk, however it should be 90g or 5½ tbsp of milk! So sorry about that don't know how I got that wrong! Thank you so much to everyone who brought that to my attention :)

There's something special about the bright, tangy flavor of oranges that just makes you smile, and this super moist orange cake recipe captures that sunny essence perfectly! The cake layers are packed with orange flavor and have the most soft, tender crumb. With a delicious orange cream cheese frosting to top it all off, this citrus packed cake is sure to become a family favorite!

MK I just lined some pans and got out all my baking ingredients to make your lemon cake for my brothers birthday today. I was just double checking the ingredients list on your page for that cake and came across this recipe. Change of plan! Orange cake it is! So glad I came across this JUST in time. ❤

Hi, I just wanted to say, thank you! Your videos are amazing and are the only ones that I can follow step by step and make it right. I did this cake and it turned out great. Your videos are making it possible for me to actually make it.

Thanks for the recipe! It turned out so soft and delicious—no words can describe how soft it is. So good! Thanks again ❤️

[lamarjackson]

I wish I could buy one from you...looks so good.

I made this cake today without the frosting, and I can tell it was delicious. I poured in two different cake moulds, one round and the other one in a loaf tin.
My children almost finished them. I had to warn them to save me some for tomorrow's breakfast.
Thank you very much for sharing!

Hi MK. I am so glad you add a little oil to the butter-seems to make a very moist cake.

[kilti-ish]

This cake was amazing! I made it yesterday and everyone loved it!
I added orange curd as a filling and went for plain old buttercream for the frosting, it was a hit!
Thank you so much for the recipe. The cake was moist and soft

[leelakumaresan]

Hi MK, made a cupcake version of this recipe. Got about 20 pieces (L size moulds) reduced the frosting to half the amount and was sufficient to ice the cuppies 🧁
Thank you so much for the recipe. Cake is so soft and moist, cream cheese frosting goes so well with the cake ❤
