Makes: 1 9lb loaf
Ingredients:
- 140g butter, room temperature
- 170g caster sugar
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 6 tbsp milk
- 200g self raising flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- zest of 2 oranges, finely grated
- 3 tbsp orange juice
- 30g caster sugar
- 75g dark chocolate
Directions:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas mark 4.
- Lightly butter and line the loaf tin. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy (roughly 2 minutes).
- One by one, add the eggs, mixing well after each addition. Add the milk. Then fold in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides and make sure all flour is incorporated. Stir in the zest from two oranges.
- Spoon the mix into the prepared tin and level the top of batter. Bake for 40 mins or until golden brown and firm to touch.
- Next, place the sugar and orange juice in a small pan over a light heat. Stir well until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat to cool.
- Once the cake is out of the oven, use a skewer to poke a dozen holes randomly in the loaf. Then spoon over the orange mixture. Allow the cake to cool in the tin, before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave in 20 second increments. Drizzle the chocolate over the cake however you like before leaving it to set. Then serve!
