Not so with this recipe.
This Moist Orange Cake uses a cup of buttermilk for its moistness. And because there’s no syrup, this orange cake is lighter and fluffier than the other styles.
Add in a sensational Orange Cream Cheese Frosting and you’ll be in orange cake heaven for sure.
This Moist Orange Cake is baked with love by Daring Gourmet.
