Today I decided I wanted some cake...so I used my new-found addiction (pintrest) to come up with this idea! It's pretty easy and really doesn't take much time to put together.
Cake:
1 box French Vanilla Cake mix (I used Betty Crocker)
3 Eggs
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
1/2 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Orange Juice
Filling:
1 7 oz jar Marshmallow Cream
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter @ room temp
Frosting:
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter @ room temp
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon Orange Extract
4 cups powdered sugar
For the cake, mix ingredients together and bake as directed on the box. Allow the cake to cool, & slice in half (I used a springform pan, but you could bake 2 separate layers). To mix filling, cube butter and allow to soften to room temperature, using the whisk attachment whip the marshmallow cream and add in cubes of butter 1 at a time until fully incorporated. Spoon on top of bottom cake layer, add top layer of cake. For the frosting, cream the butter until smooth, add in orange juice and extract. Whip until fully incorporated. Add in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until fully incorporated. After 4 cups of sugar, mine was a little too stiff so I added a bit of extra orange juice...so you could either back off a little early and test it at 3-3.5 cups or add in some extra juice if it isn't the right consistency. Frost cake. and enjoy!
