CHOCOLATE ORANGE CAKE - VERY LOW FAT
While it's not as light as a normal cake, the denseness contributes to the dark chocolate feel. It sparkles throughout with the taste of orange, and because it's not a super-sweet cake, the icings provide just the right accent without being cloying.

Steps:
- Combine the flours, sugar, baking soda, salt, cocoa, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Add the yogurt, vanilla, balsamic vinegar, water, and orange juice. Beat by hand or with a mixer on low speed just until well-combined, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the grated orange peel, and pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake for about 30-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then invert it onto a serving platter and cool completely.
- When the cake is cool, make the icings. For each icing, mix the ingredients in separate small bowls. One half teaspoon at a time, stir in enough extra orange juice to make a drizzling consistency. Drizzle the chocolate icing over the cake, wait a few minutes for it to set, and then drizzle the orange icing.
- Makes 16 servings.

Tips:
- Use low-fat ingredients: Opt for low-fat milk, yogurt, and butter or margarine to reduce the overall fat content of the cake.
- Use dark chocolate: Dark chocolate contains less sugar and more antioxidants than milk chocolate or white chocolate, making it a healthier choice for baking.
- Use a combination of orange juice and zest: This will give the cake a stronger orange flavor. You can also add a teaspoon of orange extract for an extra boost of flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough, so be sure to mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
