It was strange to mix this backwards. Usually you mix sugar and butter then eggs and so on. I turned out pretty well.

Adapted from the Company''''s Coming "The Rookie Cook" cookbook (I changed the flavor). 1 double recipe makes 3 - 4 8 inch round layers. (Or 3 8 inch layers and 6 regular sized cupcakes.) Use orange extract in the icing instead of vanilla too. It really brings out the orange flavor. Active time does not include decorating time - which took about 1 hour including to make icing. I made this cake for my step-daughter''s birthday and EVERYONE loved it. They all said how moist it was. If you are looking for an easy, cheap, but moist and delicious cake this is it.
