Another one of Real Simple's "Fake It, Don't Make It" recipes...

1 2 oz. slivered almonds
4 oranges (or sub 1 1/2 cup oj, and use 1 orange for zest for flavor/garnish)
1 chocolate cake mix (they suggest double chocolate muffin mix, like Ghiradelli's)
1 cup sugar

Prepare muffix mix/cake as directed, but substitute 3/4 cup of orange juice for water, and blend in almonds and zest. Bake 25 minutes or until knife comes out clean.

In a small saucepan, combine sugar and remaining 3/4 cup oj. Simmer, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. To serve, spoon over torte and garnish w/zest.
