I fixed this cake for dessert for my son and his new girlfriend, and they just loved it! I had to send some home with them to eat later! My husband gave it 2 thumbs up! and I went back for seconds too! Thanks! I used the orange juice instead of the orange liqueor, and I used chocolate fudge cake mix.
