I had this cake in a restaurant once, and I vowed to figure it out.
Figure it out, I did.
I love orange flavors, and I especially like them with chocolate.
Wouldn't it be great to use a chocolate ganache similar to the one in this recipe to cover the orange frosting? You could top it with Halloween Oreos, and you have a gorgeous holiday-themed dessert. Sounds like a good excuse to have people over this weekend, doesn't it?

Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 yellow cake mix
- 1 can orange soda

I like orange and chocolate too. Maybe I could turn this into a Thanksgiving cake. I'll throw a turkey on top.
