Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for this cake. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use 1/2 cup of frozen orange juice concentrate thawed and diluted with 1/2 cup of water.
  • Don't over-mix the batter. Over-mixing the batter will result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a water bath. Baking the cake in a water bath helps to prevent the cake from drying out.
  • Use a toothpick to test the cake for doneness. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Orange Chocolate Jello Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of orange and chocolate is a classic flavor combination that everyone will love. This cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
