Orange Chocolate CakeIngredients
- 200 g Butter
- 180 g Caster sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Orange rind
- 4 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 g Plain flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
- 200 g Sour cream or plain natural yogurt
- 30 g Semi-sweet chocolate
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a 9-inch bundt pan and dust with flour or spray with non-stick spray.
Step 2
Beat butter until softened, then add caster sugar and continue beating until creamy and light.
Step 3
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in orange rind, orange juice, and vanilla extract, beating at low speed until just combined.
Step 4
Divide the sifted plain flour mixture (ingredient B) into 4 portions and the sour cream (or yogurt) into 3 portions. Alternately add one portion of the flour mixture and one portion of the sour cream to the batter, beating well after each addition, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
Step 5
Take half of the prepared cake batter and gently fold in the melted chocolate. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Alternately scoop dollops of plain and chocolate batter into the prepared bundt pan until all batter is used. Gently shake the pan slightly to settle the batter.
Step 7
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
