FRESH ORANGE CAKE WITH ORANGE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Fresh Orange Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 20

Cake:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
zest from the oranges
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream (Lite is okay)
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon pure orange oil
Optional: 2 teaspoons Loranne's Buttery Sweet Dough Emulsion
Frosting:
1 stick butter, softened
3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 teaspoon pure orange oil (optional)
2-4 cups* confectioners sugar
Add up to 8 cups of sugar, if that's your cup of tea.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 3 9-inch cake pans with nonstick baking spray* and line with parchment. Spray parchment with baking spray. *NOTE: I used 2-9-inch cake pans, figuring I'd slice those in half. That was tricky, as the cake was so moist, that it took a miracle that transferring the layers didn't break! In a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add oil, orange juice, eggs and sour cream. Optional: I add 1/4 teaspoon of pure orange oil, for more flavor. Beat at medium speed with a mixer until smooth. Pour into prepared pans and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks. Frosting: In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with a mixer until creamy. Add orange zest and orange juice, beating until combined. Gradually add confectioners sugar beating until smooth. (NOTE: You can add more confectioner's sugar, if you prefer a much thicker frosting.) Assembly: Spread frosting evenly between layers and on top and sides of cake.

Time 1h2m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix with pudding
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon fresh grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly mist a 12 cup bundt pan with vegetable oil spray, then dust with flour. Shake out excess flour.
  • Place cake mix, orange juice, oil, sugar, vanilla and eggs in large mixing bowl. Blend with mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop machine and scrape down sides of bowl. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping sides again if needed. The batter should look thick and well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place in the oven.
  • Bake the cake until it's golden brown and just starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, 45-47 minutes. Remove pan from oven and place on wire rack to cool for 20 minutes. Run a long, sharp knife around the edge of the cake and invert it onto a rack to cool completely, 30 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Combine the confectioners sugar, fresh orange juice, and orange zest in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Place the cake on a platter and pour the glaze over the top, letting it drizzle down the sides and into the center. Let the glze set for a few minutes before slicing.
