Hereâs a bright and lovely addition for your dessert table. Mayonnaise is the secret ingredient that gives this cake its marvelous, moist texture. Ingredients:
1 package yellow cake mix (regular size) |
1-1/4 cups mayonnaise |
4 eggs |
1/4 cup orange juice |
filling: |
1/3 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce |
1/4 cup cranberry juice |
4 teaspoons cranberry gelatin powder |
1/2 cup whipped topping |
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel |
frosting: |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme |
1/8 teaspoon almond extract |
1-1/2 cups whipped topping |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, mayonnaise, eggs and orange juice until well blended. Transfer to two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans.
2. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
3. For filling, in a large saucepan, bring cranberry sauce and juice to a boil; cook and stir until blended. Stir in gelatin powder until dissolved. Cool slightly; transfer to a small bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken. Fold in whipped topping and orange peel.
4. For frosting, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add marshmallow creme and extract; beat until smooth. Beat in whipped topping.
5. Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with half of the filling. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread 2 cups frosting over top and sides of cake. Spread remaining filling over top of cake to within 1 in. of edges. Pipe remaining frosting around edge of cake. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 14 servings.
