Last week, I was cleaning my pantry, and I saw a box of Pillsbury Cake Mix, and if I’m not mistaken, I bought this at SNR, on Sale for only Php89.00. This is the last box I’ve got, and I wanted to use it for another recipe. And since I can’t decide which one I’m going to make, I end up making both… LOL  So, I made a 6-inch round Cake and ten pieces of 3oz. Cupcakes. And I’m happy with the result, a delicious and moist Orange Sponge Cake and Cupcakes. A perfect recipe for a small get together or little party celebration. So let’s start…

Procedure:

• Preheat Stove-Top heavy-bottom deep pan or any similar cooking ware, over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Place a fitted wire rack in the center and cover with a lid. The lid hole should be sealed with a foil so the heat can’t escape.
• Line each muffin tin with the same size cupcake liners. Grease 6-inch round pan and line with baking paper, then set aside. Combine milk and orange powder and stir well until powder is fully dissolved. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, orange-milk mixture, eggs, oil and mix until the batter becomes smooth and no lumps. Fill each cupcake molds about 2/3’s full and pour the remaining cake batter into prepared baking pan.
• Arrange the cupcakes in a preheated casserole and cook for about 6-8 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on your cupcakes coz’ we may have different kinds of stove/casserole, and the heat varies. Repeat process for the second batch, and the Cake, bake for about 20-25 minutes. Fire off and let it cool completely on a wire rack, before frosting.
• Let’s prepare our Toppings: Wash Mint leaves and dries them in a tissue paper. Open canned or bottled orange segments and drain. Divide orange segments into two parts, the half is for our cake filling, and the other half we’re going to add into our frosting. Cut fresh orange into small and thin wedges and set aside.
• Let’s prepare our Frosting: I’m using a box (200g) of Frosty Whip Cream Powder that would be 1½ cups of FWCP, and to that, we are going to add a ¾ cup of super cold water. Moistened the cream powder first before whipping. When it’s thoroughly whipped and aerated, you can add half part of the well-drained orange segment. Mix over low speed to separate those pulp. Transfer half of the whipped cream in a piping bag with your favorite piping tip, and we are ready to frost our cupcakes.
• Let’s frost our Cake & Cupcakes: Pipe a small amount of whipped cream frosting on top of each cupcake. (Press, Swirl and Release). Decorate with orange slices and mint leaves on top. And for the cake, trim the top of your cake to flatten and slice the cake in half to make a two layer. In a serving plate or cake board, put a tiny amount of whipped cream and place the cake in the center. Brush the cake with orange juice to moisten a little bit. Top with whipped cream spread evenly add reserved orange segments and cover with another layer of whipped cream. Top with the 2nd layer of sponge cake and chill for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, run a flat spatula around the sides of your cake to smoothen the whipped cream. Add whipped cream on top and spread evenly, with the remaining frosting, pipe a tiny swirl around the top edge of your cake Decorate with orange slices and mint leaves. Refrigerate cake and cupcakes for at least 30 minutes, before serving.
