For this cake, as I mentioned, I used a simple 1-2-3-4 vanilla cake recipe and turned it into an orange flavored cake. A 1-2-3-4 cake gets its name from the proportioning of ingredients. 1 cup of butter, 2 cups of sugar, 3 cups of flour and 4 eggs.
Of course it needs other ingredients to complete the recipe, but it’s a pretty simple cake otherwise and easy to remember. Plus you can change things up a bit and make it your own like it did with the addition of orange juice and zest for the orange flavored cake.
