This is the cake I made for our 4th of July barbecue, it was easy to put together, and delicious. The best part about unfussy desserts is that you can spend less time in the kitchen, and more time at the pool!

For the topping:

- In a medium bowl, whisk 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt together, set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and the orange zest, scraping down the bowl.
