Preparation

Step 1

1 In medium bowl, beat pudding mix and 1 cup milk with wire whisk or electric mixer on low speed about 2 minutes or until well blended. Fold in whipped topping. Reserve about 8 orange segments for garnish; stir remaining orange segments into pudding mixture. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour.

2 Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°. Grease bottom and side of 9-inch round cake pan with shortening or cooking spray; lightly flour.

3 In medium bowl, beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on medium speed 4 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in grated baking bars. Pour into pan.

4 Bake about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

5 Place cake on serving plate. Spoon topping onto cake. Garnish with reserved orange segments, the almonds and chocolate curls. Store covered in refrigerator.

Expert Tips:

Toast nuts in 350° oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Or, sprinkle nuts in an ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browning begins, then stir constantly until golden brown. Watch carefully, time varies greatly between gas and electric cooktops.
