Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mistakes.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cake will be. If you can, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cold, the cake will take too long to bake and will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Donell's Orange Pumpkin Spice Cake is a delicious and festive fall treat. With its moist, flavorful crumb and tangy orange glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
