Vanilla orange cake with chocolate frosting

Here’s a delicious cake that’s perfect to make anytime. It has a wonderful combination of flavors, with the vanilla cake, chocolate frosting, and the oranges on top. I’m hungry just looking at the photos!

This vanilla orange cake is a beautiful dessert for a special occasion or to bring to a picnic or party. Wouldn’t it be perfect on a pretty cake stand? It really makes an impression, and of course, it tastes wonderful. 

By the way, I like to use this frosting on my other cakes too. With just three ingredients you always have on-hand, it whips up beautifully every time.

Be sure to read the recipe for a fun variation.
