INGREDIENTS
2 Sticks (226 g) unsalted butter, slightly softened

3 large eggs, room temperature (you can add to warm water to bring to room temp)
1 cup (242 g) sour cream (we use full fat)
1/3 cup (81g) milk (we use whole milk)
3/4 cup (190g) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 Tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Vanilla Bean Paste (you can substitute vanilla extract if you like)
1 Tablespoon (10g) Orange Extract (we used McCormick brand)
3 cups (342 g) cake flour *See substitution below
3 teaspoons (12g) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon (4g) salt
zest of one orange
Orange Coloring Gel (optional. We used a small amount.)
2 sticks ,1 cup, (226g) unsalted butter, slightly softened
2 (8oz) packages cream cheese (total weight 452g) I use full fat cream cheese. Using reduced fat or the spreadable cream cheese will cause the frosting to be too soft. Slightly softened.
2 teaspoons (8 g) vanilla bean paste
1 teaspoon (4 g) orange extract
1/2 teaspoon salt (2g) optional
6 to 6 1/2 cups (690g to 747g) powdered sugar, sifted
