CAKE:
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
ΒΌ c. butter, softened
1/3 c. sour cream
1/3 c. orange juice
1/4 c. honey
2 egg whites
2 c. flour

ORANGE CREAM:
2/3 c. sour cream
1 T. sugar
1 t. freshly grated orange peel
1 T. orange juice
Heat oven to 325* F. Combine brown sugar, butter, 1/3 c. sour cream, 1/3 c. orange juice, honey and egg whites in large bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Continue beating, gradually adding all remaining cake ingredients, until well mixed. Pour batter into greased 9-inch round cake pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Meanwhile, stir together all orange cream ingredients in small bowl. Serve cake warm or cool with dollop of orange cream.
NOTE: Top each serving with sweetened whipped cream. Beat 1/2 c. heavy whipping cream in small bowl at high speed, scraping bowl often, until stiff peaks form. Beat in 2 teaspoons powdered sugar. Dollop whipped cream onto each serving. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
NOTE: Another serving suggestion is to top each wedge of cake with scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle ice cream with a small amount of honey or caramel sauce.
