When I opened the packaging and unseal the cake mix. The first thing I noticed was the fresh aroma of cacao and orange. The ingredients are so fragrant with fine texture. Likewise, it was super easy to prepare the cake mix. Simply by just following the clear instructions on the back of the packaging. Preparation took me less than 10 minutes and cooking time is 40 minutes. During baking, the cake continued to smell really enticing with the recipe flavour combination. Due to the fact that the ingredients are so fresh and high quality. In addition, I noticed that my house did not have an overpowering baking smell. Except for the sweet scent of chocolate and orange.
