Black Magic Cake (Orange and Chocolate deliciousness)

This is my absolute favorite tasting cake ever.  It is a mix of orange and chocolate and deliciousness.  The basic recipe (although slightly more complicated) is to marble a chocolate cake mix with an angel food cake mix that had orange juice added to it and then cover it with orange butter cream frosting and a chocolate ganache top.


Here it is in it's majestic outside.  You can see the smooth chocolate ganache waterfalling over the edge and getting into the center of the cake.


Then once you cut open the sweet ring of delight, you get a different marbled looking section for every slice.


The mix of the angel food cake makes the cake lighter allowing you to eat a larger slice than you normally would. Or maybe this cake is just so good that I usually glutton myself a bit when eating it.
