Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Wow, when I was a kid, my mother made this cake for me, but we called it orange peeling cake and she frosted it with divinity frosting. I will try this with the orange buttercream. For me, this is still the best cake in the world!!

LORRAINEF the amount of butter is correct. I just made this at Halloween and it turned out great! Because it was halloween I added orange food coloring paste to really give it all a very orange color not just orange flavor. Everyone loved it. It's a great cake!
could someone verify the amount of butter listed in the buttercream icing? 6 tbsps to 4 1/2 cups icing sugar? also, can an orange soda be used in place of oj for a more dreamsicle taste? thanks:)
How many cupcakes does this reciepe make ? Thx
