GRANDMA'S ORANGE CAKE WITH ORANGE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• For the Cake

• Alternate adding small amounts of the remaining sugar and orange juice slowly, mixing in between each addition. Continue until all of the sugar and juice have been added. Continue beating with the mixer until the frosting is light and fluffy.
• Spread the icing over your cake with a spatula or apply with a piping bag.
