Recipe: Orange Sunshine Cake and White Chocolate Frosting for tutu

Hi Tutu:-) While this doesn't seem to be quite the recipe you are looking for, it is the closest that I could find on the internet. I have also posted a White Chocolate Frosting recipe that was previously posted here at recipelink. The frosting called for in this recipe isn't a white chocolate frosting recipe. I hope that someone will post the exact recipe you are hoping to find.

ORANGE SUNSHINE CAKE

3 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine, at room temperature, divided
2 1/3 cups sugar, divided
5 large eggs
1 cup Hale orange juice, divided
2 teaspoons grated orange peel

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease three 9 inch round cake pans and line bottom with wax paper cut to fit bottom of pan.

In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt.

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat 1 cup butter and 2 cups sugar at medium speed until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Beat in flour mixture alternately with 3/4 cups orange juice, beating well after each addition. Beat in orange peel. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.

Bake in a 350 degree oven 25 to 30 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center of cakes comes out clean. Remove pans from oven and loosen cakes around edges with a small metal spatula. Turn cakes out onto wire racks; peel off and discard wax paper. Turn cakes, right-side up, and prick all over with a wooden pick.

In a small saucepan, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1/3 cup sugar and 1/4 cup orange juice. Cook, stirring until sugar dissolves.

Spoon slowly over warm cakes, letting syrup soak in. Let cakes cook completely. Complete cake with Orange Sunshine Cake Filling* and frost**.
YIELD: 10 to 12 servings

ORANGE SUNSHINE CAKE FILLING
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin

2 large eggs, separated

In a small saucepan, mix 1/3 cup sugar and gelatin. Add orange juice. Stir over low heat until gelatin dissolves. Add butter, stir until butter melts.

In a small bowl, beat egg yolks; stir in orange mixture; then return mixture to saucepan. Cook over low heat 3 to 5 minutes, stirring until thickened. Cool to room temperature.

Beat egg whites with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until stiff; fold into cooled orange mixture. Refrigerate until very thick but still spreadable, about 10 minutes. Do not chill too long or mixture will set. Use to fill Orange Sunshine Cake.
