Chocolate-Orange Truffle Cake
1 package Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® chocolate fudge cake mix
1 1/3 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
3 eggs
1 tub Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy chocolate ready-to-spread frosting
1/3 cup whipping (heavy) cream
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350ºF (metal or glass pan). Grease (or lightly spray with cooking spray) bottoms only of two 8- or 9-inch round pans.
Beat cake mix, water, oil, orange peel and eggs in large bowl on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl constantly (do not overbeat); or stir 2 minutes by hand. Pour into pans.
Bake 8-inch pans 30 to 35 minutes, 9-inch pans 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (Decrease bake time by 2 or 3 minutes if using dark or nonstick pan.) Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
Fill layers and frost cake with frosting. Heat whipping cream in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat until hot (do not boil); remove from heat. Stir in chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Let stand 5 minutes.
Carefully pour chocolate mixture onto top center of cake; spread to edge, allowing some to drizzle down side. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until chocolate is set. Store covered in refrigerator.
