ORANGE CAKE
This recipe yields 2 loaves or as my mom used to make it - one bundt cake. I find that it's not easy to remove the cake from the bundt pan because it's a very moist cake unless you butter and flour the pan well, so I prefer using a loaf pan and I think it looks beautiful. If you only want to make one loaf, you can halve the recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease a 12-cup (10-inch) Bundt pan or two standard loaf pans (either 9 x 13 inch pans or 8½ x 4½ inch pans for taller cakes) and set aside.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a mixer bowl fitted with whisk attachment, whisk together eggs and sugar on high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. On low speed and with the mixer running, add oil slowly until combined. Add orange juice, zest, and vanilla extract and keep whisking slowly until combined. Add flour mixture and whisk just until combined. Don't overmix.
- Pour batter into prepared pan/pans. Bake for 50-60 minutes for the bundt pan or 40-50 minutes for the loaves or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top is browning quickly while baking, cover loosely with aluminum foil. Allow cake/cakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Store cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For the best moist texture, the cake is best served at room temperature. This cake freezes well so if you make two loaves, cover well, and freeze one of them in the freezer for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight in the fridge

EASTER LAMB CAKE
My grandmother started the tradition of making this molded Easter lamb cake when I was little. We continue to make it every Easter. The memory is so special that I keep the lamb mold in my kitchen next to my cookbooks as a decoration. Make sure to grease and flour the mold really well so that the cake does not stick. - Debra Waggoner, Grand Island, Nebraska

BEAT AND BAKE SPONGE CAKE
I have tried other sponge cake recipes and they always flop for me. My mother use to make this when we were kids. She doubled the ingredients and made it in one of those large oven trays that often come with the oven. It never lasted long enough to come out of the tray! As a variation, you could add lemon or orange rind to the mix, or even granadilla seeds.

Tips:
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Always use room temperature ingredients for baking. This ensures that the ingredients mix together smoothly and evenly, resulting in a better-textured cake.
- Zest Before Juicing: Zest the oranges before juicing them. This will yield more flavorful zest and juice.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients Separately: Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately before combining them. This helps to prevent overmixing, which can result in a tough cake.
- Fold Dry Ingredients Gently: When adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, fold them in gently until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
- Don't Overbake: Keep a close eye on the cake while it's baking. Overbaking can dry out the cake and make it crumbly.
- Let the Cake Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and the cake from falling apart.
