  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 35 min
  • Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1 box (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Pound Cake Mix
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • Grated peel of 1 orange
  • 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Milk Chocolate Frosting or 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting
  • 1 cup pretzels and/or large marshmallows
  • 1 cup fresh orange sections and/or strawberries
  • Assorted candy sprinkles, chopped nuts, colored sugars, as desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease 9x5-inch loaf pan with shortening; lightly flour.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, beat cake mix, water, butter, eggs and orange peel on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 3 minutes (or beat 4 minutes by hand). Pour into pan.
  • 3
    Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until firm to the touch. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on cooling rack.
  • 4
    Cut top of cake to even out, and divide cake horizontally into 3 long slices. Using a cookie cutter, cut shapes out of loaf cake. To make fondue, place frosting in a ramekin, and microwave uncovered 30 seconds to 1 minute or until melted.
  • 5
    Place cake cutouts and remaining ingredients in small ramekins or containers on a platter around the fondue. Surround with napkins, wooden skewers for dipping and small plates.

  • Pour cake batter into mini muffin tins in place of cutting out shapes, and skewer each mini cupcake. This will yield 3 dozen mini cupcakes.
  • Cutting out shapes from cake will make 12 to 14, depending on the size of your cookie cutter.
