Ok, so I've been a Giada kick. I made this cake for a Hogmanay party I attended last night. It was so easy (especially because you just use a boxed cake mix for the base) but the flavor was great. A little hazelnut brittle, mixed with a mascarpone based frosting... and chocolate cake. The chocolate and orange zest topping added just a bit of extra sweetness to the cake.
