Did you know that not everything has to be made from scratch……yep……there are shortcuts that are sometimes just as good!  This recipe is one of those. If you need a dessert for an upcoming event and want something that is not too difficult but full of yumminess this is the one for you.

Ingredients:

• 1 box of Pillsbury chocolate mix (yep – I said it – prepackaged cake mix!)
• 1 cup of fresh squeezed orange juice
• 2 Tbs orange zest
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 c mayo (trust me here)
• 2 Tbs balsamic vinegar (still trust me) I used Simply Infused Dark Chocolate Balsamic http://www.simply-infused.com and their Blood Orange olive oil instead of regular cooking oil.
• 2 tsp vanilla
• Chocolate Glaze: 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 Tbs cocoa powder, 2 Tbs OJ

Instructions:

• Prepare the cake mix as directed but substitute the water with orange juice.
• To the cake mix add the balsamic, vanilla and mayo and 1 Tbs orange zest
• Pour the batter into a greased “bundt” pan and bake according to package
• While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. Whisk all ingredients and set aside
• Let the cake cool slightly and turn onto a cake stand. Drizzle the glaze over the top and sprinkle with the other Tbs of Orange zest.
•
