I just made this again - a second time in a week. This time I substituted 8 oz apple sauce for the oil (added 3/4 oz oil to make up for the difference) just to make it a tad healthier. Used KAF gluten free multipurpose flour because that's what I had at home. Used magic strips around 9" cake pans. The cakes came out beautifully - moist and tender, and very flavorful. Super happy with the recipe. Waiting for the cakes to cool before slathering the cream cheese frosting. I will be using orange zest to flavor the icing, and reduce the amount of powdered sugar to suit our taste. Thank you for a very forgiving recipe!
