ingredients
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1 cup self raising flour
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 large zest and juice orange
- 1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200ºC or 395ºF, gas mark 6. Whisk the butter, sugar, flour and eggs together in a bowl until smooth, and then transfer half the mixture into a separate bowl.
Step 2
Beat the milk and cocoa powder into one bowl of mixture. Beat the orange zest and juice and the chopped chocolate into the second bowl of mixture.
Step 3
Then drop spoonfuls of the mixture alternately into the loaf cases. Using a fork or a skewer, lightly ripple the mixtures together to create a marble effect. Sprinkle lightly with the extra sugar and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cakes have risen and are firm to the touch. Leave to cool completely before serving
Step 4
For a full-sized loaf, use a 900g greased and lined loaf tin and bake at 180ºC or 355ºF, gas mark 4 for 45-50 minutes. I’ve topped mine with a chocolate ganache frosting using Valrhona chocolate and chocolate buttons
