Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the sugar to the cream cheese, beating well after each addition until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
- Gradually sift in the self-raising flour, mixing gently until just combined.
- Slowly add the buttermilk and continue to mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar with the orange zest.
- Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread the orange frosting evenly over the top.
- Allow the frosting to set slightly before cutting and serving the cake.
- Slice the cake and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing to achieve a smooth batter.
- Use freshly grated orange zest for the brightest and most authentic citrus flavor.
- When incorporating the eggs, add them one at a time to ensure even mixing and to prevent the batter from curdling.
- To avoid overmixing, gently fold in the flour until just combined.
- Use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs when inserted into the center of the cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before applying the orange frosting to prevent it from melting.
