Well, here goes... I'm not a homemaking master. I have no credentials except many years of dealing with recipes when I'm missing some ingredient.
For the topping, the OJ and water equal 3 tablespoons. It's not enough water for normal dilution but I would ignore that. I would use regular OJ (squeeze the orange used for grating the zest for the cake). Start with 2 tablespoons since it's thinner and mix well. If it seems a bit dry for spreading, add a bit more until it's spreadable. For the cake, the OJ is used to add flavor, texture and fiber. I would substitute applesauce for texture and fiber. It's a similar consistency and you already have apple flavor so you're not adding a different flavor. Use a bit of orange extract in it for the orange flavor. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out.
