(If you haven't made your Orange Slice Cake yet, you may want to bake it an extra hour, as it is such a heavy cake.) And I found a good, easy bar-cake recipe for last minute baking. CAN'T LEAVE ALONE BARS. White cake mix (I used orange), 1/3 cup oil, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup butter, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup chocolate chips. Mix with fork, cake mix, oil and eggs. Pat half the mixture in 9x13 pan, ungreased. Melt together, butter, condensed milk and chocolate chips. Pour over cake mixture and put rest of cake mixture on top. Swirl with knife. 350 degrees for 20 minutes. (Take small amount of dough and pat flat to place on top.)
