Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 pkg. devil's food cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  • 3 eggs

Orange Frosting

  • 2/3 cup butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange marmalade
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk

Garnish

  • 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon oil

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 13x9-inch pan. In large bowl, combine all cake ingredients; beat at low speed until moistened. Beat 2 minutes at high speed. Pour batter into greased and floured pan.
  • 2
    Bake at 350°F. for 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 1 hour or until completely cooled.
  • 3
    For frosting, in large bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating well after each addition. Beat in orange marmalade. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until of desired spreading consistency. Frost cooled cake.
  • 4
    In small saucepan, melt chocolate chips with oil, stirring constantly until smooth. Drizzle over frosting.

  • Orange marmalade gives this cake its orange kick. This fruit preserve has a softer set than jam, and contains bits of fruit peel, particularly citrus rind.
  • With a plastic bag and the microwave, it’s easy to melt chocolate and decorate a cake. Place the chocolate chips and oil in a small plastic bag. Microwave on HIGH about 1 minute, until the chips are just melted. Knead the bag gently to combine the chips and oil. Snip a very small opening off one corner of the bag and squeeze to drizzle the glaze over the cake.
