Indulge in this visually stunning chocolate orange marble cake for a delightful flavor experience.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 box (4-serving size) Jell-O™ orange-flavored gelatin
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange extract, if desired
  • 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/3 cup milk
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease and lightly flour the bottom and sides of a 13x9-inch pan, or spray with cooking spray.
  • Using a large bowl, mix cake mix, water, oil, and eggs with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to medium speed and mix for 2 minutes, remembering to scrape the bowl occasionally. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the batter in a small bowl. Pour two-thirds of the remaining batter into the pan and spread it evenly. Stir dry gelatin and extract into the reserved 1 1/2 cups of batter. Drop the orange batter by heaping tablespoonfuls randomly onto the batter in the pan, then repeat with the yellow batter. Swirl the batters together using a knife.
  • Bake for 33 to 38 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely for about 2 hours.
  • Melt chocolate in microwave according to package instructions. Let it cool for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on low speed to blend powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Gradually mix in the melted chocolate until well combined. Quickly frost the cake (frosting will start to set after about 15 minutes). Store covered loosely.
