Orange Cappucchino Pudding Cake
Updated February 23, 2016 
Use a flavored coffee mix powder, like Irish cream or vanilla, or a cappuccino mix.
Pudding cakes are fantastic because they give you the added bonus of a low-fat sauce.
Make ahead: Best served right out of the oven, but can be reheated in microwave for similar texture.
