We have made a decision to no longer publish the Sharing Sisterhood newsletter, due to budget constraints and other factors. We thought that most other information would still be delivered to you by way of the ward newsletter, but one thing you might miss would be the recipe! I thought I would share a recipe with you that I made yesterday. The picture isn't worthy of the deliciousness of this cake! If anyone has a recipe they adore, let me know and we'll post it here.
For the cake, I started with a white cake mix. I followed the directions for the oil and eggs, but instead of using water, I used orange juice. I also added 2 tsp. orange extract, and baked as directed.
Here's where it gets really good...the frosting.
1/2 cup butter (that's one stick)
3 oz. cream cheese
4 cups powdered sugar
4 Tbls orange juice
2 tsp orange rind, grated
dash of salt
2 tsp. orange extract
Cream the butter and cream cheese together for 3-4 minutes. Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. After all the sugar is mixed in, add the orange juice, salt and orange extract.
Frost your cake and then sprinkle on some sweetened flaked coconut. Try not to eat the whole cake by yourself. Remember...moderation in all things!
