Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 3/4 cup butter and 1 tablespoon orange peel in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating just until combined. Spread batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake for 27 to 32 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely.
Meanwhile, combine all filling ingredients in medium bowl. Beat at medium speed until fluffy. Reserve 1/2 cup filling.
To assemble cake, place one layer onto serving plate. Spread remaining filling over cake. Top with remaining cake layer. Cover; refrigerate while preparing frosting.

*Substitute 2 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to equal 3/4 cup. Let stand 5 minutes.
