I'm not a big fan of orange-flavored desserts, but this cake was surprisingly good. The orange flavor is subtle and the cake is very moist.

This orange layer cake was a hit at my last dinner party! The zesty orange flavor was perfectly balanced with the moist, fluffy cake. I'll definitely be making this again.
