ORANGE CHOCOLATE LOAF CAKE FROM FLORIDA

Steps:

• Adjust rack one-third up from the bottom of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees. You will need a loaf pan measuring about 8½ x 4½ x 2¾ inches, or one with about a 6‑cup capacity. Butter the pan and dust it all over lightly with fine, dry bread crumbs, shake out excess crumbs, and set the pan aside.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa, and sugar and set aside.
• Beat the cream and vanilla in the small bowl of an electric mixer until the cream holds a definite shape. On low speed, add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula and beating only until the egg is incorporated after each addition. (The eggs will thin the cream slightly.)
• Transfer to the large bowl of the mixer and gradually, on low speed, add the sifted dry ingredients, scraping the bowl and beating only until smooth. Remove from the mixer and stir in the grated zest. That's all there is to it.
• Turn the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 1 hour and 5 minutes, until the top springs back when lightly pressed with a fingertip.
• For the glaze:
• As soon as the cake goes into the oven, mix the orange juice with the sugar and let it stand while the cake is baking.
• After you remove the cake from the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes. Then, a little at a time, brush the orange juice/sugar mixture all over the cake; encourage most of it to run down the sides between the cake and the pan, but thoroughly wet the top also. The cake will absorb it all.
• Let the cake stand in the pan until it is completely cool. Then cover the pan loosely with a piece of wax paper. Invert the cake into the palm of your hand-easy does it-remove the pan, cover the cake with a rack, and invert again, leaving the cake right side up.

Preheat oven to 350. Sift together cocoa, flour, soda, powder and salt, set aside. Cream butter and sugar, add orange zest, orange and vanilla extracts and eggs. Mix well. Add cooled melted chocolate, blend well. Add milk alternately with dry ingredients ending with dry ingredients. pour into 2 greased and floured 9" round cake pans and bake 25-35 min. or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool 10 min. in pans, then invert onto cooling racks to cool completely.
• FILLING: This filling recipe is enough for a 4 layer cake...you can half it for a two layer. In a small saucepan over medium high heat, melt butter. In a bowl add sugar and whisk in cornstarch well, then add water, juice, beaten egg and zest, whisking until well mixed. Pour egg mixture into melted butter and stir until bubbly, let boil slow and low for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely, can put in frig to speed up the cooling process, stir occasionally. For a more syrup consistency (Like I did for the cupcakes) only cook 30 seconds at a low boil.
• FROSTING: Whisk sugar, milk and tartar together in a large bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Using a mixer gradually beat cream into chilled mixture. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Then stir in 1T orange zest...
• ASSEMBLY: Put a dalop of filling onto cake plate (keeps the cake from sliding), for a four layer cake, cut your cake layers in half, then place one cake on cake plate, top cake with a fourth of the thickened, cooled filling, place another layer on top of filling and so on until all layered and you have filling on top as well staying an inch away from the edges. Place in refrigerator for one hour...use wooden skewers pushed through the top of cake down to the cake plate to keep the top layer from sliding off while filling sets up, if needed. Make your frosting...and frost sides of cake up over the edge and over top of filling if you want, or just frost sides and put large dalop of frosting in the middle on top. Garnish with chocolate curls or grated chocolate, and orange zest. 1 chocolate curl and 1 orange zest curl would look especially nice in the middle too. Or an orange slice twisted with choc curls.
