How to Make Tropical Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
- Juice 2 large oranges, reserving the orange segments. Add the orange juice to the dry ingredients.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Gradually add ½ cup vegetable oil and 2 large eggs, beating until just combined.
- Gently fold in the reserved orange segments.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons orange zest, and ¼ cup orange juice until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost the top with the cream cheese frosting.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
