Chocolate Chip Orange Cake Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHIP ORANGE DRIZZLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/160Fan/350F/Gas mark 4. Grease and line the base and sides of a 900g (2lb) loaf tin.
• Place the sugar, orange zest and butter in a large mixing bowl (I use a free standing mixer.) Beat on high speed for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is very light and fluffy.
• Gradually add the beaten eggs, beating well after each addition. Once all the eggs have been added and the mixture is smooth, fold in the orange extract if using and flour - taking care not to over mix. Finally, coat the chocolate chips in the flour (to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake) and fold in to the batter.
• Pour the batter into the lined cake tin and bake for 40-45 minutes or until risen, golden and a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake emerges clean.
• While the cake is baking, make the syrup. Place the icing sugar and orange juice in a small saucepan and simmer on a medium to high heat until the mixture has thickened and starts to look syrupy. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• As soon as you remove the cake from the oven (and checked it has fully baked in the middle) pierce it all over with a skewer. Slowly and evenly pour the syrup all over the cake, allowing the holes to soak it all up. Leave the cake to fully cool in the tin - if you attempt to unmould the cake while it is still warm, it will collapse!
