ORANGE SUNRISE CAKE

Make a well in the center and pour in 3/4 cup orange juice, lemon juice, applesauce, eggs, orange and vanilla extracts, orange and lemon zest. Beat on low speed until blended. Scrape bowl, and beat 4 minutes on medium speed. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• 3. Immediately, bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
• 4. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook 1/3 cup orange juice, sugar and butter for five minutes. Brush over cake, discard excess syrup.

SWEET SUNRISE MOCKTAIL

• Fill a highball glass with ice.
• Add 2-3 dashes of orange cocktail bitters and top with orange pineapple juice.

STRAWBERRY ORANGE SUNRISE POPSICLES (PALEO + VEGAN)

Steps:

• In a blender, puree strawberries until smooth. Taste the mixture and sweeten with 1-2 Tbsp. syrup, honey, or agave, if needed
• Divide the strawberry mixture between your popsicle molds (mine holds 10 pops). Tap the popsicle mold on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles and to help the puree settle.
• Add about 1″ orange juice on top of the strawberry puree in each popsicle mold. Use a straw, drink stirrer or popsicle stick to gently swirl the orange juice into the top of the strawberry mixture. (This will help you create a gradient of color)
• Pour the rest of the orange juice into the popsicle molds.
• Insert sticks & cover with a lid if you can*
• Freeze 3-4 hours or until completely solid.
• To remove pops from the mold, run the outside of the mold under cold water for a few seconds, then jiggle the sticks side to side to loosen the pops. (Run the mold under water again if they're still not loosening.)
