vanilla cake recipe

Easy Vanilla Cake + Orange Buttercream Icing

Ok, so call me crazy, but I started this “cake and icing from scratch” adventure at 9pm on the eve of this St. Patrick’s Day. My boycotting of commercial holidays was over. I wanted sugar. I wanted green. I wanted to get lucky.  And lucky I got.

I used this amazing recipe for Easy Vanilla Cake and this family favourite for a most decadent Orange ButterCream Icing.

I substituted regular milk for almond milk, and I used about 1/3 of a cup less of sugar in the cake batter. Honestly, I don’t think you’d even notice because the icing is so wonderful and sweet, that it really does tie everything together nicely.

Overall, it was a completely painless experience, except for the sore belly part from eating two pieces! Oops.
