Orange Lemon Cake

Thanks to Betty Crocker’s  cake mix which made it possible for me to   bake a cake for my daughter who turned seventeen yesterday. As I am not an expert in cake making,I find baking easy with the cake mixes that are found in shelves at the supermarket.I simply followed  the instructions in the packet but added  a twist to it.Since I was baking an orange cake,I threw in some fresh orange zest to the mixture.My daughter was not too keen  to glaze the cake with icing so I covered the cake  with lemon frosting and did a little decoration with some colourful smarties. 

Fancy Fruit Cake Dessert

I made fruit cake using  Betty Crocker's chocolate cake mix as the base.It came out delicious as excitedly vouched by my family.I threw in a lot of dried fruits and a combination of nuts.I had made extra as I had planned to join some friends for a potluck but unfortunately had to cancel our get together due to unavoidable circumstances. Suddenly I was left with too much of cake.I was wondering what to do with the additional which was now neatly tucked away in an airtight container in the refrigerator.After  a few days wrecking my brains what to do, I decided to make use of it in a new dessert. Previously I  had made a  dessert using  crumbled cookies as the base of the pudding.This time I used the cake and topped  it with a  thick creamy custard. It was heavenly. Every bit was deliciously savored.

I used almost the same ingredients that I had used for my semolina custard pudding but instead of crumbled cookies I used  the cake.

I used the fruit cake as the base of my pudding
