I based this cake on my favorite chocolate bar of all time the Lindt Excellence Intense Orange Dark Chocolate Bar which you can find everywhere. It is orgasmic chocolate if you ask me...anyhoo, put that in a cake and WOW. So very good.
Bittersweet Chocolate Almond Orange Pound Cake
1 package Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 package (4-serving size) chocolate instant pudding and pie filling mix
1/4 cup Hershey's cocoa (use Special Dark if you really like dark chocolate)
4 large eggs
1 1/2 Lindt Excellence Intense Orange Dark Chocolate bars broken into pieces
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
2/3 cup sliced almonds
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 10" Bundt pan or tube pan.
Combine cake mix, pudding mix, and cocoa in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Place chocolate bar pieces in microwave safe bowl, use high power for 30 seconds, stir, then continue at 15 second increments stirring after each until chocolate is melted. Pour oil into chocolate, stir to combine. Add oil chocolate mix, eggs, water and orange extract to cake mix mixture in large bowl.
Beat at medium speed with electric mixer for 2 minutes carefully scraping down sides after the first minute. Fold in almonds. Pour into pan.
