Description

This Sunshine Orange Cream Cake is a nostalgic treat that balances sweet vanilla cake with the bright acidity of fresh oranges and rich sour cream. The batter is incredibly tender, yielding a soft crumb that pairs perfectly with the juicy fruit filling. It’s a show-stopping dessert that feels both elegant and homey. The combination of baked cake, fresh citrus, and creamy tang creates a complex flavor profile that is refreshing yet indulgent.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan and line the bottom with waxed paper; grease the paper lightly as well.
  2. Peel the orange, remove any pith, and slice thinly across the sections into neat rounds. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the margarine and sugars together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with 1/2 cup of the sour cream and the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Once cool, carefully remove the cake from the pan. Cut the cake in half horizontally to create two layers.
  11. Spread the remaining 3/4 cup of sour cream evenly over the bottom layer.
  12. Arrange the sliced orange rounds on top of the sour cream layer.
  13. Place the top cake layer over the oranges and sour cream.
  14. Garnish individual servings with additional sour cream and fresh orange slices before serving.
