Chocolate Cake Celebration
Number of Servings: 8
Serving Size: 1 slice
2 cups reduced-fat chocolate cake mix
3 medium whole oranges
1 pint fresh raspberries
2 tsp grand marnier liquor (can substitute
2 tsp orange juice)
1. Prepare the reduced-fat cake mix according to the
package directions. Bake one layer in an 8×8-inch
square pan. Allow the cake to cool, then cut it into 8
equal pieces.
2. 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.
3. 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.)
4. 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.
5. Garnish each cake slice with 4 orange segments and 3
raspberries and serve.
