Hi guys, today after I delivered all 202 of my papers in one go,I felt that I needed a treat. Looking on the internet I found a really simple recipe for Chocolate and Orange Marble cake, so here it is…
- 225g very soft butter, plus extra for greasing
- 225g caster sugar
- 225g self-raising flour
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tbsp milk
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder, sifted
- 1 large orange, zest and 1 tbsp orange juice
- a few drops orange food colouring (optional)
- 50g orange chocolate,broken into pieces
Method:
1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease and line the base of a loaf tin (8 x 21cm) with butter.
2. Get all your ingredients and measure them out.
3. Beat the butter, sugar, eggs and flour together in a large bowl with an electric whisk until lump free.
4. split the mixture into 2 bowls.
5. Beat the milk, followed by the cocoa powder into one. Beat the orange juice, zest and orange food colouring, if using, into the other.
6. whisk them both together.
7. Spoon alternative mixtures into the tin.
8. Use the handle of a spoon to swirl the mixtures together (don’t mix too much!!!).
9. Pop in the oven for 40-55 mins
10. Whilst cooling melt the Chocolate.
11. Drizzle the Chocolate over the cake.
Oh and I nearly forgot… don’t forget to eat it!!
