This is a pretty nice cake. I made this y'day for a girl who turned seven and was celebrating her birthday. I wanted to take something for her and decided to make this cake, which I'm very glad I did. I used 3/4 cup instant Tang orange drink, 2 cups all-purpose flour(instead of self-raising flour), 1/2 cup oil, 1/4 cup yoghurt(as a substitute for sur cream), 2 cups sugar, 2 eggs, 1 cup fresh orange juice, 1 tsp. vanilla essence and 1/4 tsp. pineapple essence. This particular cake took 1 hour 30 minutes to bake in my AMC Dutch Oven. Once done and cooled, I frosted this cake with 3/4 cup of vanilla ice-cream(softened). This cake needs to be served chilled to be enjoyed best. The blend of vanilla and orange go very well together in this cake. Big thank you's to YOU from the child who was celebrating her bday also the same day. Thanks for posting!
