Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
- Cream together the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the granulated sugar gradually and mix until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition.
- Whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and wet ingredients (milk and concentrated orange juice) to the batter, starting with the dry ingredients.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 28-30 minutes.
- Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Prepare the frosting by beating together the cream cheese and unsalted butter, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a serving plate, spreading frosting on top, and adding the second layer with more frosting.
- Allow the cake to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
