Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Add orange zest and juice to the egg mixture; mix well.

Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.

Melt butter and mix it in gently along with vanilla extract and milk.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread whipped cream on top.

Add the second layer and frost the top and sides with remaining whipped cream.

Decorate with food coloring, orange extract, and sprinkles as desired.
