GRANDMA'S CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat butter and 1 cup of the sugar in large bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, cereal and baking powder; mix well. Pour into lightly greased 13x9-inch baking pan.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Meanwhile, mix remaining 1 cup sugar and water in small saucepan. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Boil 5 minutes.
• Remove cake from oven. Immediately pour hot sugar mixture over cake. Cool cake completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into 24 squares to serve.

CLASSIC ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• I used two 8" round cake tins. Butter or spray them and put in a round piece of parchment in the bottom. I use baking spray which is a combination of oil and flour.
• Add your sugar and large strips of the orange rind (I used a vegetable peeler) into your food processor and grind until the orange peel is fully combined.
• Combine your room temperature butter and the orange sugar and mix until fully combined.
• Add each egg separately and fully incorporate between each egg. Add the fresh orange juice to the batter and mix until just combined.
• In a separate bowl, add your flour and baking powder and whisk together until well blended. Add the dry ingredients to the batter by 1/2 cup increments mixing until just combined between each addition.
• Pour the batter into to tins and make sure they are equal to ensure even baking times. Bake for about 30 - 35 minutes. Once you've taken the cakes out of the oven, allow to cool for about 5 minutes in the tin and then turn out, inverted, onto a wire rack. Allow to cool completely.
• Once the cakes have fully cooled, decorate!

• For the Frosting
• Place butter, orange zest and about 1/4 of the powdered sugar in a medium bowl.
• Beat with the whisk/whip attachment of an electric mixer until well combined.
• Alternate adding small amounts of the remaining sugar and orange juice slowly, mixing in between each addition. Continue until all of the sugar and juice have been added. Continue beating with the mixer until the frosting is light and fluffy.
