Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice, plus 2 tablespoons finely grated zest
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

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.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE ROUNDS

Found in "Better Homes & Gardens: Favorite Bars & Cookies" that I found at a yardsale. This recipe jumped out at me immediately. I think it is one of the most impressive cookie recipes I've ever made. I've shortened the steps, as I don't think the level of presentation they ask for is needed. Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons orange zest (I used 1 tsp extract, very orangey!)
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate

Steps:

  • In large bown, beat butter with a mixer for 30 seconds. Add sugar, baking powde, salt. Beat until combined.
  • Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour.
  • Divide dough in half. Stir orange zest/extract into one portion, melted chocolate into the other.
  • Pinch off small, equal portions of each type of dough, rolling it into a ball between your fingers. (This dough is supposed to yield 60 cookies, so you can make more or less, just make 60 balls of each flavor.) Combine one chocolate ball with one orange ball, rolling them together between your palms. Flatten if needed.
  • Place on ungreased cookie sheet and place in an oven preheated to 375 degrees for 7-9 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on cookie rack.
