Fresh Orange Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting

This recipe is slightly adapted from "The Red Spoon", who adapted it from Paula Deen. The cake recipe is incredibly moist-- no kidding! In fact, it was so moist, that I only baked two layers, thinking I'd just cut each layer in half to create a beautiful 4-layer cake. Wrong! The layers were so moist (From the oil and sour cream) that I struggled to accomplish this. So, next time, I will definitely bake three can pans full of this batter! The frosting was very creamy, not over-the-top with cream cheese flavor, balanced by adding orange zest and pure orange oil. I made candied orange slices as a decoration, and my dinner guests loved this cake. This recipe would make a lovely Bundt cake or even cupcakes.
