Chocolate Cake Celebration

Name: Amount:
reduced-fat chocolate cake mix 2 cups
medium whole oranges 3 ea
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 on 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.
