This Simple Orange Cake should be called EVIL ORANGE CAKE. I HIGHLY recommend you bake it, eat one slice, then RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN to your neighbor's house and give it to them!

I can't help but agree. Now comes the part where... More...

For the past four years, I've attended my fair share of little kid birthday parties. I've observed and experienced that no matter how delicious the cake tastes or doesn't taste, it's the icing that gets all the attention.

This is the easiest, most delicious, most --press the crumbs with your fork-- moist cake, you will ever eat! The first time I ate this cake was at a lady's luncheon. My sweet friend, Ms. Lucy baked it and said it was a quick, standard dessert she relied on for gatherings. When she told me her recipe, I couldn't believe it was so simple. "That's it, two things?", I said. "I can do that!" There's... More...

Growing up, my Memaw ALWAYS made a German chocolate cake for my birthday. It has ALWAYS been what I love to eat. UNTIL, my Aunt Debbie made an Italian Cream cake for me the day after I gave birth to my first child.
