Even non-bakers can make this terrific cake with ease. Orange juice and zest bring a nice citrus flavour to this dessert. The oil whisks right in, so you don’t need an electric mixer (like you do with recipes that use butter). If desired, you can omit the glaze and simply dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar. This cake will keep up to 3 days at room temperature if wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Or wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Top with low-fat vanilla ice cream and sliced oranges, if desired
