To make the Orange Buttercream Frosting, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Alternatively combine all

smooth. If necessary, microwave for an additional 25 seconds. Stir in the orange extract and keep stirring until the mixture is smooth.
To assemble, remove the cooled cakes from the pans. If you want additional layers, slice each cake in half horizontally with a long knife to make 4
layers. Spread the frosting of your choice over the top of each layer. Arrange the layers on top of each other and frost the sides of the cake with the
frosting of your choice. Garnish with orange slices and/or candied orange peel. Cover loosely and store in the refrigerator.

Tips
Each frosting recipe makes enough to frost the sides of the coke or the tops of two layers. Double the recipe if you are using four layers, or
make both frostings and use one between the layers and the other to frost the sides of the cake.
