CHOCOLATE ORANGE DRIZZLE CAKE



Chocolate Orange Drizzle Cake image

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.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable oil for pan
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup light brown sugar
Finely grated zest and juice of 2 Seville oranges (about 1/2 cup); see note
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons cocoa, sifted
2 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

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.

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.

Conclusion:

This chocolate orange drizzle cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate and orange is a classic flavor combination that's sure to please everyone. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor and a hint of orange.
