How to Make Chocolate Orange Truffle Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a tube pan or bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) of your favorite chocolate cake mix, the liquid ingredients specified on the cake mix box, and 1 teaspoon of orange extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  4. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Once completely cool, frost the cake with your favorite ready-to-spread chocolate frosting.
  7. **Optional Chocolate Glaze:**
  8. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream over medium heat until hot (do not boil).
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the frosted cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  11. If using the glaze, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set before serving.
