A simple, rich, moist cake for those who love the choc orange flavour combo. BONUS- it keeps so well in the fridge!
Ingredients (serves 10)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 225gm Butter (salted)
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Whole Orange, cut into 4, peel and all
- 1 cup NESTLE Dark Choc Bits (and a handful for snacking on)
- 2 cups S/R Flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- I 1/4 cup Water
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 2 Star Anise
- 1 The rind of 1 orange finely sliced
- 1 The juice of that orange
- ** PLEASE NOTE- the first 6 ingredients are for the CAKE, the next 6 are for the SYRUP
Method
- Cream Butter and Sugar in a mixer
- Blend Orange pieces and eggs together in a blender until completely obliterated and combined
- Combine with butter and sugar in mixer
- Add flour and chic bits and combine until smooth batter consistency
- Bake in a large cake tin at 180 for 50 mins (may require more time if not fan forced)
- Meanwhile add all syrup ingredients to a small pot and bring to the boil on stove, then simmer until slightly thickened (approx 5-10mins).
- Allow cake to cool for 10 mins before poking through the top with a skewer to allow for the syrup to soak through evenly. Pour syrup over and enjoy with ice-cream or cream (or both as my husband likes to do)
Notes
If you are conscious of the sugar content you can remove the syrup, making this a lighter (marginally healthier but not really), fluffier cake. Apologies for the half eaten finished product, it seems we couldn't wait!
