Orange Chocolate Chip Snack 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!

ORANGE-CHOCOLATE CHIP SNACK CAKE

Steps:

• Make the Cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, then grease the parchment, dust the inside with flour and tap out any excess.
• In a small bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder; set aside.
• In a measuring cup, whisk together the orange juice and buttermilk; set aside.
• Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and egg yolk and beat well, then add the orange extract, vanilla extract and orange zest and beat until incorporated. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, and mix again for 15 seconds. Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
• In a small bowl, toss together the chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of flour until evenly coated. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter, then transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out completely clean with no crumbs attached, 32 to 37 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes.
• For the Orange Syrup: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over very low heat, whisk together the orange juice and sugar until combined. Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat to medium-low and simmer until the syrup is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Turn the cake out of the pan onto a wire rack, remove the parchment paper, and flip the cake right side up. Using a toothpick or wooden skewer, poke holes evenly all over the cake. Brush the cake with the orange syrup and allow it to sink in and set, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar immediately before serving. The cake will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
