Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9x2-inch baking pan.

2. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, butter, water, eggs, baking powder, baking soda and vanilla in large bowl; beat until smooth. Pour into prepared pan.

EASY ORANGE FROSTING: Stir together 1 container (16 oz.) vanilla ready-to-spread frosting, 1/2 teaspoon orange extract, 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated orange peel and 1 or 2 drops each of red and yellow food color, if desired.

CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE: Place 1/4 cup HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips or HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips and 1-1/2 teaspoons shortening (do not use butter, margarine, spread or oil) in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 15 to 30 seconds; stir. If necessary, microwave at MEDIUM an additional 10 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, just until chips are melted and mixture is smooth.
