    I used orange extract instead of orange flavored alcohol, and used this as a filling for a dark chocolate yule log. Fantastic. Seriously the most heavenly cake filling I have ever eaten. I wanted to shovel spoonfuls into my mouth over and over while rolling my eyes heaven ward. Instead I let the husband lick the spatula and I put the rest into the fridge until the cake was ready. To this day...one day after the cake was eaten for Christmas, I wonder if I made the right call. Delicious eaten solo
