Cooking Day
Butter and flour a 9 x 13 baking dish or a disposable foil baking pan. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Filling: In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, cottage cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well and set aside.
Batter: In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the flour and baking powder until just blended. Mix in yogurt, sour cream, and orange juice. Pour half of the batter into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spoon the filling mixture over the batter, and then carefully pour the remaining batter over filling. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely, cover baking dish with a layer of plastic wrap, then with foil, and freeze.
Serving Day
Remove from freezer and allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator. To reheat, bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 20–25 minutes or until heated through. If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent with foil. To serve, cut into squares and serve with the suggested toppings and powdered sugar.
