This definitely not the recipe for the actual cake! You use 2 Betty Crocker yellow box cakes use OJ instead of the water and 2 tablespoons orange extract 1 cup oil and 6 eggs...and use 3 cake pans well buttered with real butter then spray....the crunch mix is one package of crushed up regular graham crackers and one and a half cups brown sugar and one cup toasted almonds mix all together and divide up between the three pans press on the bottom lightly poor in the cake batter and bake accordingly ! The frosting is 1 pound of butter softened 16 ounces of Cream cheese one and a half boxes of confectionery sugar three drops of red food coloring and 1/2 tablespoon of yellow food coloring and 1 tablespoon of orange extract mix all together it will seem a little thin but hardens up . Remove cakes from pan when cooled place first cake crunch bottom down frosting place the next cake down frosting then the top and then cover the rest with the rest of the frosting thiny slice oranges keeping the Rinds on to hold together and decorate with them. Final stop heat up orange marmalade and drizzle all over beautiful and delicious !!2Replies 1

This may be a good cake but is definitely not the Orange Crunch Cake recipie from the Bubble Room.Reply

Guys, the real cake from the Bubble Room has an orange cream cheese frosting - must have cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and also orange food coloring (sorry, that's just the way it is!)Reply

The Orange Crunch Cake At the Bubble room was absolutely the best cake I have ever had in my 40 years on this earth. Went there to try the Red Velvet cake that is rumored to be a favorite of Author Stephen King. Loved the Red Velvet cake, but the Orange Crunch Cake takes the GOLD! The frosting was a light orange, not off white like in the photo! Will try this recipie, but recommend the Bubble room hands down!2Replies 1
