as many of you will know I adore chocolateorange. the juice of half an orange. The sharp intense zing of the citrus pairs so beautifully with the rich dark chocolate
for the orange butter cream. I've added the chocolate for a little extra richness and it makes this very much a bitter-sweet cake but with all the sweetness around at this time of year, it's exactly what i'm after
We made these Low Syn Chocolate and Orange Mini Bundt Cakes. We also made some Low Syn Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips and Syn Free Onion Bhajis for our WotY results night
I also had some left over oranges which I wasn’t too sure on what to do with, and then the two just clicked together…a literally orangecake with a classic and yummy dark chocolate ganache
My recipe makes a delicious moist cake, packed with desiccated coconut and coconut milk, and lightly flavoured with a splash of rum, zesty orange and grated nutmeg
**** For an Extra Deluxe ChocolateOrangeFruitcake ****. Brandy is the alcohol of choice for most Christmas cakes - but I'm using Dry Curaco from MandS at the moment for a lovely orange kick
BloodOrangeCheesecake from Vikalinka. For those not familiar with Jaffa Cakes, they aren't cakes at all but sponge cookies topped with orange filling and covered in dark chocolate
Think Jaffa cakes - but with a rich dark base instead of a light sponge, and an orange filling made from fresh orange juice and zest, topped with delicious dark chocolate
This one is a bit of a tea-time favourite and a lunchbox stable – chocolatemarblecake. With a skewer, swirl it around the mixture a few times in the tin to create the marbled effect
This cake tastes like a terry's chocolateorange in cake form, really it does. zest of one orange. I have braved making a cake in my new oven (well not NEW new, I just moved flat)
I used bloodoranges (orange sanguine) as they are in season at the moment as I love the flavour and bright red sweet juice and zest, but you can of course substitute for normal oranges or a combination of your favourite citrus fruits
