CHOCOLATE ORANGE DRIZZLE CAKE
Chocolate and orange are a traditional pairing, but not one that I've always liked. Chocolate has all the muscle in the partnership. It mocks the pleading, too-sweet orange. But there is such a difference when you use Seville oranges. The plain cocoa-dark loaf here, drenched in bitter orange syrup, is unfussy but sensational. The syrup permeates the cake unevenly, so that every now and again, in a dark, chocolaty mouthful you get an explosion of fizzing orange sherbet.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Oil the bottom of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, and line it with parchment paper.
- In a mixer, beat butter until soft. Add brown sugar, and beat again until soft and creamy. Mix in zest of 1 orange. In another bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cocoa.
- Whisk eggs into butter-sugar mixture one at a time, alternating with a little flour mixture. Fold in remaining flour mixture. Add milk. Stir until smooth. Pour into pan.
- Bake until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, 45 minutes. In a saucepan combine juice, remaining zest and confectioners' sugar. Place over low heat until sugar dissolves. Strain into a pitcher.
- When the cake comes out of the oven, pierce it all over the top with a cake tester. Slowly drizzle warm syrup over the cake so that it sinks in. Allow cake to sit in the pan until it has cooled, then transfer to a serving plate.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together the softened butter and 1 tablespoon of the cocoa to make a thick paste. Use this paste to paint the inside of the Bundt pan. Set aside.
- In an electric mixer, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and remaining 1/2 cup cocoa and mix until blended. Add the orange juice, mayonnaise, vinegar and vanilla and mix until just combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Fold in the orange zest. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean, 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- For the chocolate glaze: Mix the confectioners' sugar and cocoa together. Whisk in the orange juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a good consistency to drizzle. Drizzle the glaze over the cake.
ORANGE DRIZZLE CAKE
Cake. Citrus. One-bowl baking. If these words send a shiver down your spine, then this recipe is for you. It is a very easy recipe that can be different every time you make it if you swap the oranges for lemons, limes, grapefruit, or a mix of juices. You get a not-too-sweet, moist cake that will be gone before the day is over. Remember to use exact measurements to get perfect results.

Steps:
- Cake:.
- In a large mixing bowl, dump cake mix, jello, orange juice, oil, unbeaten eggs, and orange zest.
- Beat on low speed 1 minute, then beat on medium for 2 minutes.
- Pour 2/3's of the batter into a well greased and floured bundt pan.
- Spoon the chocolate mixture scattered over the top of the orange batter.
- Take a spatula to cut through and make the swirls.
- Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1 hour.
- Chocolate Batter:.
- In a small bowl, first add the 2 tablespoons warm water to the 1 Tbsp.sugar; then add that along with the 1/4 teaspoons baking soda to the 2oz. melted chocolate Stir to mix well.
- Add chocolate mixture to the remaining 1/3 orange cake batter and mix together with spoon until all is well blended.
- Follow directions above to add to the bundt pan and orange batter.
- Orange Glaze:.
- Whisk the powdered sugar, orange juice, and fresh zest together in a small bowl. Set aside and wait for cake to bake.
- * When cake is done, be sure to cool on a wire rack about 8-10 minutes before turning cake out of the pan into your cake plate.
- Right away, prick the cake on the top and all around the side with a toothpick or a fork.
- Slowly, pour the yummy orange glaze over the cake.

Tips:
- Always use fresh oranges for the best flavor. Zest and juice them just before using for maximum citrus flavor.
- Creaming together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to prevent curdling.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter once the dry ingredients have been added. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate or cocoa powder in the drizzle.
