If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender to combine the ingredients for this cake. Process the eggs, cottage cheese and cream cheese until smooth, then add the remaining cake ingredients and process until combined. Proceed as directed above.
An electric mixer is not recommended for preparing this recipe as it changes the texture of the cake.

Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
