These are fun to make and so tasty!  I'm not sure where the recipe originates but a good friend gave it to me so that is the source as far as I'm concerned.  Awesome recipe to do with kids, because you mix it in a mason jar...

Cake Ingredients and Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325º

In a quart size jar (you will need a lid) add 2 eggs and shake 10 times.

Add 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup sugar.  Shake 20-30 times.

Add 1/2 cup orange juice, 1 cup flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.  Shake 40 times.

Pour into greased 9x9 pan and bake for 20 minutes.

Frosting: 
(this was not part of the original recipe but I love frosting so I had to add some):

•3-4 cups powdered sugar
•1 tablespoon butter
•2 tablespoons cream cheese (we just happened to have a cream cheese packet in the fridge from a restaurant so that was how much I added, you could always add more I'm sure)
•1 teaspoon of vanilla
•2 tablespoons or more of orange juice until the frosting is desired consistency ( I did mine pretty thick so I could put more on, again because of my love for frosting)
•pinch of salt

Mix all ingredients until smooth and spread on cake when the cake is cooled.  Yum!
