This is a very light, moist cake....great for summer. The recipe came from Southern Lady magazine. I baked one last night to take to Sunday School this morning....4 pieces are already gone and we haven't left the house yet. Make this one a day before you need it....it's better the second day. If you can't find an orange cake...

SOUTHERN LADY CAKE



Southern Lady Cake image

This cake was published in the very first edition of the magazine "Southern Lady". It was created as a tribute to the magazine by a lady in Atlanta known as the "Cake Lady". She is truly talented! This is my most favorite cake and the one that's most often requested at my house. I have been making this cake for years and I follow the recipe exactly as it's written. I have never in all those years had this cake turn out soggy. True, it is a MOIST cake, but if made as written, should not be soggy.

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • For a finer crumb, use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
  • Check the doneness of the cake by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a tangy orange flavor, use fresh orange juice and zest in the cake batter and frosting.
  • Garnish the cake with additional orange zest, slices, or whipped cream for a festive touch.
