Orange Chocolate Cake



Ingredients:
6 Tbs. butter, softened
12 oz. cream cheese (1 1/2 pkg)


1 Tbs. orange zest
6 c. powdered sugar
Orange food coloring (till it reaches the shade you like)
Milk chocolate cake mix, prepared as packaged and baked in two 8-inch cake pans

3 oz.  BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate

4 oz. Cool whip (still frozen)



Beat the butter, cream cheese, orange zest, powdered sugar and food coloring in an electric mixer until smooth and lump free. Place one of the cake rounds on your serving platter. Spread about 1/2-3/4 c. of the frosting on top. Place the second cake round on top. Frost the sides at the top with the remaining orange frosting. In a small microwavable bowl, heat the chocolate and cool whip on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let sit for 15 minutes to cool slightly. Pour over the top of the cake and let it run down the sides.
