Chocolatecake is enjoyed in my house whether it is in the depths of winter or the warmth of Summer. The lovely caketin as seen in this vlog post is from the new Stellar Cookware baking range
I hadn’t made the cake for ages, and so when Dom asked us all to turn to “cuttings, memories and clippings” for March’s Random Recipe Challenge, I was thrilled to see this handwritten recipe turn up in my random selection

Mix in the eggs, one at a time, beating really well after each egg. Chocolate Orange Layer Cake. Growing up, Terry’s Chocolate Orange always meant that the festive season had really arrived
All I could think yesterday was 'I need some chocolatecake' and I ended up making said cake on autopilot – the mere actions of measuring the ingredients and greasing the tin were so familiar and soothing in themselves, I felt much better afterwards
