Chocolate Orange Cake

Here we go with another recipe from the Cake Mix Doctor lady--Guess what I got for Christmas, and couldn't wait to make and share some of these yummy recipes. This one is one of my favorite flavor combinations--orange and chocolate. The author recommends frosting it with a orange-cocoa cream cheese frosting that I will post seperately.
