• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans. Lightly dust with flour and shake out any excess.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Mix in the orange juice, milk, orange zest, and lemon zest. The mixture may look slightly curdled at this stage, but that’s normal.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan(s) and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan(s) for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

If desired, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 11

Slice and serve your Super Sunshine Cake with a smile, enjoy!
