Makes 12 servings.
This moist cake is lower in fat because orange juice replaces part of the oil.

Unsweetened cocoa powder
1 package 2-layer-size devil's food cake mix
1  8-ounce carton plain low-fat or nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons finely shredded Florida Orange Peel (set aside)
1/2 cup Florida Orange Juice
1/2 cup water
1 egg
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

In a large mixing bowl combine cake mix, yogurt, orange juice, water, egg, egg whites, cooking oil, and cinnamon. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 4 minutes. Stir in orange peel. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40 to 50 minutes for tube pan or 35 to 40 minutes for a 13"x9"x2" baking pan or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove cake from tube pan or leave in 13"x9"x2" pan;  cool completely.  Drizzle icings over cake.
