Irresistible Chocolate Orange Cake Recipe

Mouthwatering Chocolate Orange Cake

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a delectable recipe for a mouthwatering Chocolate Orange Cake. This rich and decadent cake pairs the classic flavors of chocolate and orange in a delightful and unexpected way that is sure to impress your friends and family.

Ingredients:

• 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 150g butter
• 150g caster sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tbsp orange zest
• 100g plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• a pinch of salt

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• saucepan
• whisk
• round cake tin

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C. In a saucepan, melt the dark chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add in the melted chocolate mixture and orange zest, stirring well to combine.

Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, gently folding everything together until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased and lined round cake tin and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

This Chocolate Orange Cake weighs approximately 700g once cooked and serves 8. Each serving is about 87.5g with an estimated calorie count of 250 per slice.

Tip: For an extra burst of citrus flavor, soak the baked cake in freshly squeezed orange juice before serving. This will enhance the orange essence and make the cake even more irresistible.

I hope you give this unique Chocolate Orange Cake a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to experiment with different toppings or additions to make it your own! Happy baking!
