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.
