  • Electric Mixer or Hand Whisk
  • Cake Pans
  • Oven
  • Zester or Grater
  • spatula
  • refrigerator
  • Knife or Cake Slicer

Ingredients

  • 1 box White cake mix
  • 12 oz 10-Calorie Sunkist
  • 8 oz 1/3 Reduced-fat cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp Fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tsp Fresh squeezed orange zest
  • 8 oz tub light whipped topping
  • Fresh orange slices for garnish

Instructions

Cake:

  • Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the cake mix box.
  • Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions, replacing the water with the 10-calorie Sunkist.
  • Pour the batter into a prepared cake pan and bake it as directed. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.

Frosting:

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  • Gradually add in the powdered sugar, fresh orange juice, and orange zest. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  • Gently fold in the light whipped topping until the frosting is smooth and airy.

Assembling the Cake:

  • Once the cake has cooled, spread the orange cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
  • Garnish with fresh orange slices if desired.
  • Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

For a more intense orange flavor, consider brushing the baked cake layers with a simple syrup infused with orange juice and a touch of sugar before frosting. This extra step enhances the citrus taste and keeps the cake moist. Adjust the sweetness of the syrup to your preference for a personalized touch to the dessert.
