Chocolate Cake Celebration

Number of Servings: 8
Serving Size: 1 slice

Ingredients:

reduced-fat chocolate cake mix - 2 cups
medium whole oranges - 3
fresh raspberries - 1 pint
grand marnier liquor (can substitute 2 tsp. orange juice) - 2 tsp

  1. Prepare the reduced-fat cake mix according to the package directions. Bake one layer in an 8x8-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.
