I'm always looking for the crowd pleaser, I hate it if someone won't have a cake as I feel they're missing out, so I obsessed for two weeks over what I was going to make and I came up with chocolateorange
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
My mum varied the recipe a lot – sometimes making a vanilla cake with a white glaze, more often a chocolate and orange marble cake with rich chocolate icing
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
while the cake is baking make the coconut, chocolate ganache icing. A homage to one of my favourite childhood chocolate treats the Bounty bar - sweet desiccated coconut covered in milk or dark chocolate
**** For an Extra Deluxe ChocolateOrangeFruitcake ****. For the deluxe chocolate version, mix the extra ingredients (melted butter and chocolate) into the batter before adding fruit
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
Chocolate & orange battenberg. – the chocolatecake was flavoured with cocoa powder and finely chopped chunks of dark chocolate, which give little gooey nuggets of chocolate as you eat the cake
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've tweaked this recipe with a little added milk chocolate to compliment the orange. This cake has been in my recipe book for more years than I care to remember and I cannot remember when I actually made it last, possibly decades
