MEXICAN CHOCOLATE ORANGE CAPPUCCINO CAKE

I clipped this out of a 1998 issue of Off Duty military magazine. It is a rich, decadent cake that looks fancy, but starts with doctored up cake mix and a can of purchased frosting. This is not purporting to be an authentic Mexican recipe, but has hints of Mexican flavorings. Prep time does not include cooling time and chilling time. I estimated about 20 minutes of preparing the batter and frosting and 20 minutes to assemble the cake once cooled.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • For a more decadent cake, try using a whipped cream frosting instead of a buttercream frosting.
  • Garnish the cake with orange zest or slices before serving.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
