Easy Orange Chocolate Candy Cake Recipe
"My mother used to buy orange chocolate candy shaped like an orange, and cut in wedges. Since orange and chocolate pair well, I created this recipe this afternoon, having had some oranges and a box of cake mix, and it's yummy. (For the photos, I used canned chocolate buttercream, heated in microwave 25 seconds, which turns it into a glaze. This works with any canned frosting.)..."
