THIS MEANS I MAKE A SMALL AMOUNT OF COMMISSION IF YOU PURCHASE THE PRODUCT.<\/em><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:24px\">This Orange Cake with Aperol Buttercream is the epitome of Summer for me. The Aperol aperitif can easily be subbed for orange juice if you want an alcohol free version. This is the ideal cake to take along to a BBQ, picnic, or any other Summertime occasion. And I think all occasions deserve a cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:24px\">The cake recipe itself is a simple sponge. I find the addition of extra liquid ensures the cake is super moist and full of flavour. The orange extract is optional, but the use of fresh orange for the zest is crucial to a good orange flavour. Make sure your ingredients are all at room temperature prior to baking (especially for the buttercream). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:24px\">If you are making this cake ahead of time, feel free to make the sponge first, but I wouldn&#8217;t decorate until it is nearly time to serve. The buttercream will be able to survive a while on your countertop, but not too long dependent on the heat (it is prone to split). You could also make these as cupcakes, keeping the recipe the same &#8211; just baking for less time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:24px\">I use an 8&#8243; cake tin for this (and a loose bottom base never hurts \u2013 I use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3qNDOLv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">these tins<\/a>). If you want to make it to serve a larger number, simply double it and make a tiered cake!
