Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. To soften tomatoes, pour boiling water over them and let sit 5 minutes. Drain and chop.
Spray a 9-inch x 13-inch cake pan with cooking spray and set aside. Put tomatoes and habanero pepper in orange juice and allow to sit while mixing other ingredients.
Combine cake mix, beans, eggs and almond extract and beat for 2 minutes. Stir in juice/tomato/pepper mixture. Mix thoroughly. Fold in sunflower kernels and pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on rack and frost with Orange Frosting.
Make orange frosting: cream powdered sugar and margarine with electric mixer until well blended; add juices and extract and beat to a smooth spreading consistency.
If frosting is too thick, add nonfat milk or orange juice, 1 teaspoon at a time.
