Orange Cake

The cake can be baked up to 2 days ahead. Once completely cooled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature. The batter cannot be made ahead as the leavening will begin working immediately and beaten egg whites will deflate.

Store the unfrosted cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen cake at room temperature for 2-3 hours before serving. If frosted, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
