Ingredients

    For the Orange Creamsicle Cake:

    • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 tsp Oil Soluble Orange Creamsicle Flavoring Extract (such as Dolce Flav)
    • 1 cup whole milk
    • ¼ cup fresh orange juice (optional, for added moisture and citrus flavor)
    • 1 tbsp orange zest (optional, for brightness)

    For the Creamsicle Frosting:

    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
    • 2–3 tbsp heavy cream or milk
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 tsp Oil Soluble Orange Creamsicle Flavoring Extract
    • Optional: A drop of natural orange food coloring for a vibrant look

    Directions

    1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

    2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

    3. Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).

    4. Add Eggs & Flavoring: Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and Oil Soluble Orange Creamsicle Flavoring Extract. Mix until combined.

    5. Combine Wet & Dry: Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.

    6. Enhance Flavor: Fold in orange juice and zest for an extra citrus boost (optional).

    7. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    8. Cool Completely: Let the cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully before frosting.

    9. Make the Frosting: Beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing on low. Add heavy cream, vanilla, and Oil Soluble Orange Creamsicle Flavoring Extract. Whip until smooth and fluffy.

    10. Assemble & Frost: Spread frosting evenly between layers and around the cake. Chill slightly before serving for a clean slice.
