Zesty Orange Cake image

We were baking basic butter cake in school and one of the girls in my group was eating an orange. The aroma of freshly baked cake and fresh tangy orange gave me the idea to create this recipe. It turned out good!!! I took a slice to school and my teacher said I did a good job!

I would not recommend this recipe. The cake was dense and flavorless.

This cake was a bit dry, but the orange glaze helped to improve the flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of orange cakes, but this one was surprisingly good! The orange flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the cake itself was moist and flavorful.

This orange cake was a delightful treat! The zesty orange flavor was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the cake. It was moist and fluffy, with a beautiful golden brown crust.
