Orange dream cake

Difficulty: Medium

Serves: 8-10

Time: 1.5 Hours

Ingredients:

2 boxes white cake mix (plus required ingredients per boxed instructions)

1 can of cream cheese frosting

4 lbs of navel oranges (or about 1 cup of orange juice and two fresh naval oranges)

1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

Step 1: Prepare white cakes per box instructions, replacing 1/3 of the water with orange juice (either freshly squeezed or bottled).

Step 2: Thinly slice an orange and remove the peel. Place the orange slices in the bottom of two greased, 9-inch, round, cake dishes. Divide the cake batter evenly between the two pans, on top of the orange slices, and bake per boxed instructions. Tip - to help cakes bake flat, use cake strips (I use Regency Wraps).

Step 3: While the cakes are cooking/cooling, prepare frosting and glaze. Mix 1/4 cup of orange juice with the cream cheese frosting. Mix 1/4 cup of orange juice with the powdered sugar.

Step 4: After the cakes have fully cooled, assemble. Layer the bottom cake (oranges up), topped with 2/3 of the frosting, and topped with the second cake (oranges up). Drizzle the remaining frosting around the edges of the top cake. Pour the glaze over the top of the cake.

Step 5: Enjoy!
