 Here are some great recipes to try with a little help from my friends at Duncan Hines:

Orange Creme Blueberry Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8" round cake pans.
  2. Mix Duncan Hines® Lemon Supreme Cake Mix, pudding mix, eggs, orange juice, water and vegetable oil. Fold in orange zest.
  3. Pour cake batter into prepared pans and bake 25 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted into cakes comes out clean.
  4. Pour 1 packet of Duncan Hines® Frosting Creations™ Orange Crème Flavor Mix into 1 can of Duncan Hines® Frosting Creations™ Frosting Starter. Stir until evenly blended. Repeat with second can and packet.
  5. Pipe a circle or “dam” of the Orange Crème frosting you just created around outer edge of bottom cake layer. Fill center circle with 1 cup of Duncan Hines® Comstock® Blueberry Pie Filling. Top with second layer of cake.
  6. Frost sides and top of layer cake with the Orange Crème frosting. Add remaining frosting to a piping bag with decorator tip.
  7. Pipe a circle of frosting in center of top of cake. Fill circle with remaining 1/2 cup of Duncan Hines® Comstock® Blueberry Pie Filling and serve.

  8. Tip:

  9. To create the look of vertical stripes on the side of cake, frost the entire cake, then use a palette or butter knife to start at the bottom of the cake and pull the knife straight up the side of the cake. Start the next stripe slightly overlapping the previous one. Repeat around the cake.

  6. Place the cream cheese and butter in mixing bowl. Beat until well combined. Add the melted white chocolate, vanilla and 2 ½ cups of the confectioners’ sugar. Blend on low speed until the sugar is incorporated. Add the additional sugar and blend until the frosting is fluffy.
