Chocolate Cake Celebration
Serves 8
Ingredients
2 c. reduced-fat chocolate cake mix
3 medium whole oranges
1 pint fresh raspberries
2 tsp. Grand Marnier liqueur (you may substitute 2 tsp. orange juice)
Preparation
- Prepare the reduced-fat cake mix according
to the package directions. Bake one layer in an 8 x 8-inch square
pan. Allow the cake to cool, then
cut it into 8 equal pieces.
- Peel the oranges and separate the segments
of the orange. Using a small paring knife, remove the white membrane.
Discard the seeds.
Set the segments aside.
- Rinse the fresh raspberries under cool water and allow
them to dry on a paper towel. (If using frozen raspberries, thaw
them slightly,
setting them on paper towels to absorb the liquid.)
- Using a clean pastry brush, “paint” 2
tsp. of Grand Marnier (or orange juice) over the cake slices, allowing the
cake to absorb the
liquid.
- Garnish each cake slice with 4 orange segments
and 3 raspberries and serve.
