Orange Creamsicle Cake

This is different from the other recipes posted here; it uses sour cream, frozen coconut, and o.j. in the frosting. This cake needs to be refrigerated, and it is a bit tricky to get the right consistency for the frosting, adjust the ingredients until you get the right consistency for you. Draining the coconut before mixing it in might help. Seriously, this is the best creamsicle cake ever! Show more
