Tips:

For a moist and flavorful cake, use fresh orange and pineapple juice. If you don't have fresh juice, you can use bottled or canned juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
To make sure the cake bakes evenly, use a toothpick or skewer to check the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.
If you don't have cream cheese, you can use sour cream or Greek yogurt in the frosting instead.
For a more festive cake, decorate it with orange slices, pineapple chunks, or maraschino cherries.
