Step	Description
1	Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour an 8-inch square pan or round pans.

3	Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon, ensuring they are evenly combined.
4	Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with the orange juice. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Beat at low speed after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5	Prepare Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared pan(s), spreading it evenly.
6	Bake: Place the pan(s) in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7	Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
