Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the orange juice and milk. Mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange extract, and orange food coloring until smooth and creamy.
-
Once the cake has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
