Zesty Orange Cake image

We were baking basic butter cake in school and one of the girls in my group was eating an orange. The aroma of freshly baked cake and fresh tangy orange gave me the idea to create this recipe. It turned out good!!! I took a slice to school and my teacher said I did a good job!

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was still good.

I'm not a big fan of orange cakes, but this one was really good. The orange flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I had a bunch of oranges that were about to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. It turned out great!

This orange cake was a delight! The tangy orange flavor was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the cake. It was moist and fluffy, and the glaze gave it a beautiful shine.
