1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon orange zest

Add orange juice, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Beat until smooth.
Divide batter evenly between pans and bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
For the frosting, beat butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then heavy cream and orange extract. Beat until smooth.
Assemble by frosting one layer, stacking the second layer, and frosting the outside. This Orange Creamsicle Cake Recipe is now ready to enjoy.
