CHOCOLATE ORANGE SWIRL CAKE WITH YUMMY ORANGE GLAZE



Chocolate Orange Swirl Cake With Yummy Orange Glaze image

After going through many recipes and trials I finally came up with this decadant cake recipe. It really is easy to make. If you are fond of chocolate and orange flavors mixed together, then you should try this and see if your tastebuds call out for more! If you prefer, you may opt to use Triple Sec in place of orange juice for the glaze.

Provided by Debaylady

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 (3 ounce) box orange Jell-O
1 cup orange juice (fresh is best)
3/4 cup oil
4 eggs, room temperature
3 tablespoons fresh grated orange zest
2 (1 ounce) unsweetened dark chocolate, melted
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon fresh grated orange zest
3 tablespoons orange juice or 3 tablespoons triple sec

Steps:

  • Cake:.
  • In a large mixing bowl, dump cake mix, jello, orange juice, oil, unbeaten eggs, and orange zest.
  • Beat on low speed 1 minute, then beat on medium for 2 minutes.
  • Pour 2/3's of the batter into a well greased and floured bundt pan.
  • Spoon the chocolate mixture scattered over the top of the orange batter.
  • Take a spatula to cut through and make the swirls.
  • Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1 hour.
  • Chocolate Batter:.
  • In a small bowl, first add the 2 tablespoons warm water to the 1 Tbsp.sugar; then add that along with the 1/4 teaspoons baking soda to the 2oz. melted chocolate Stir to mix well.
  • Add chocolate mixture to the remaining 1/3 orange cake batter and mix together with spoon until all is well blended.
  • Follow directions above to add to the bundt pan and orange batter.
  • Orange Glaze:.
  • Whisk the powdered sugar, orange juice, and fresh zest together in a small bowl. Set aside and wait for cake to bake.
  • * When cake is done, be sure to cool on a wire rack about 8-10 minutes before turning cake out of the pan into your cake plate.
  • Right away, prick the cake on the top and all around the side with a toothpick or a fork.
  • Slowly, pour the yummy orange glaze over the cake.
  • Do not cut the cake until it is completely cooled. It is really best if you can wait until the next day to cut it. But who can do that? It's the same thing as when you make a cheesecake -- that first taste is so much better when you wait a day!

A friend brought these to a picnic. After one taste of the warm-from-the-oven cookie, I knew I had to have the recipe. These are now the most requested cookie by my family.

Adapted from a recipe in _Real Cajun_ by Donald Link. The original Chocolate Yummy is a dessert in the mold of banana pudding with 'Nilla wafers, or Jell-O salad with canned fruit. Here, the store-bought cookies are replaced with home-made, as is the pudding mix and the Cool Whip. "Cooking" time includes refrigeration time.

Provided by DrGaellon

Categories     Dessert

Time 3h20m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 ounces pecans, toasted
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 egg yolks
3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 ounce milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1 lb cream cheese
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
chocolate shavings, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse pecans and sugar for 30 seconds.
  • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together butter, vanilla and pecan sugar. Add flour and salt and mix just until it comes together. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Press the dough out to cover the bottom of a 9" square baking dish. Prick the dough all over with a fork or a docking roller, then bake 10-15 minutes, until golden. Allow to cool completely.
  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat. In a bowl, beat together sugar and egg yolks. When cream is hot but not boiling, add the cream to the egg yolks, stirring vigorously, a tablespoon at a time, until half the cream has been added. Return this mixture to the cream remaining in the pan, still stirring vigorously. Cook over medium-low, stirring constantly, until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5-7 minutes.
  • Place the chocolates, butter and vanilla in a bowl. Pour the cream over them and stir until the chocolate and butter are melted and incorporated. Pour the custard into a shallow dish and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until cool.
  • Beat the cream cheese with 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar until smooth.
  • Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Add the remaining confectioners' sugar and whip to stiff peaks.
  • Spread the sweetened cream cheese over the cookie base. Top with the custard, then with the whipped cream. Garnish with grated chocolate. Refrigerate at least one hour, or overnight, before serving.

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

Pecan shortbread
3 ounces pecans, toasted
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Chocolate pudding
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 egg yolks
3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 ounce milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 pound cream cheese
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 cups heavy cream
Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the pecans and sugar in a food processor and pulse together for 30 seconds.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter, vanilla, and the pecan-sugar mixture, then stir in the flour and salt until just mixed. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Use your fingers to press the chilled dough into a 9-inch square baking dish. Prick the dough with a fork and bake 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly golden. Cool the cooked dough while preparing the remaining layers.
  • Heat the cream for the pudding in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir together the sugar and egg yolks in a mixing bowl. When the cream is hot (but not boiling), temper the cream into the yolks by slowly adding half the cream while stirring vigorously, then stir the egg mixture back into the cream in the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Place the dark and milk chocolate in a mixing bowl with the butter, vanilla, and salt. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate and butter are melted. Spread the pudding in a shallow dish to cool and cover it with a piece of plastic wrap placed directly on the surface so a skin does not form.
  • In a small mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar together until smooth.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, or by hand, whip the cream to soft peaks, then add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and whip a few minutes more, until stiff peaks form.
  • Spread the cream cheese over the cooled shortbread crust, top with the pudding, and then add the whipped cream. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight. Garnish with additional chocolate shavings, if desired.
