1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish or 3-quart rectangular casserole; set aside. For batter, in a blender or food processor combine eggs, egg whites, dairy sour cream, orange peel, orange juice, and softened butter. Cover; blend or process until smooth. Add flour, sugar, and baking powder. Cover; blend or process until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl; set aside. Rinse blender jar or food processor bowl.

Pour about 2 cups of the batter into prepared dish. Spoon filling mixture over batter in dish; swirl filling into batter with a knife. Pour remaining batter evenly over mixture in dish.

Raspberry-Orange Sauce: Wash blender jar or food processor bowl thoroughly. Thaw frozen raspberries in syrup; do not drain. Place in blender or food processor. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve; discard seeds (should have 3/4 cup puree). Place puree in small pan. Stir in cornstarch. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir in orange juice. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 1 cup sauce.
