How to Make Easy Moist Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, orange juice, oil, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost your cake with your favorite frosting, or serve with a scoop of ice cream and fresh berries. A drizzle of vanilla sauce is also a delicious option!
