I would say chocolate and orange is the perfect combination if anyone were to ask me. Before this, i experimented on a simple orange cake recipe and i find that the recipe i used lack the flavourful and zesty note i was looking for. So me being in the state of dissatisfaction, i started fine-tuning the original orange cake recipe to suit my tastebuds.
I scribbled down notes and jotted down the approximation of measurements i thought appropriate to create that kick i was looking for. I wanted to bake with the revised recipe but i thought why waste the time when i can embark on somethin new.
So instead of just a plain orange cake again, i decided to bake a marble cake with orange cake as the base of it with chocolate instead of the normal butter marbled cake.
I'm pretty proud of myself with my first attempt in tryin out this own recipe of mine. I've also increased the servings from 12 to bout 20 or more.
INGREDIENTS:
* 3 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
* 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 cup sugar
* 3 eggs
* 1 tbsp vanilla essence
* A whole cup of plain yogurt ( Dutch Lady- 140g)
* 1/3 cup corn oil
* 3 tbsps Sunquick Orange
* 2/3 + 1/4 cup milk
* 100gm cooking chocolate (double boil)
METHODS:
1) Preheat oven to 180 degrees C for bout 10mins. Grease the bakeware with butter or margerin.
2) In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3) Combine eggs, vanilla essence, yogurt, corn oil, Sunquick Orange and the milk in a separate bowl.
4) Pour the egg ingredients into the flour mixture and mix thorougly.
5) Double boil the chocolate and set it aside to cool. Add a tablespoon of Sunquick Orange into the melted chocolate.
6) Alternately spoon the orange and the chocolate batters into a greased bakeware.
7) Swirl through the two batters with a knife to create a marbled effect on the batter.
8) Bake at 180 degrees C for 50 minutes or until the cake tester comes out clean.
9) As soon as the cake is done remove from the oven, let the cake finish cooling on a rack before serving.
10) You can use the remainin melted chocolate as the topping or you can eat it just like that.
