Ingredients:
- 140 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 200 g self-raising flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 200 g caster sugar
- 3 eggs
- 110 ml milk
- 1 orange, zested
To finish the cake:
- 50 ml orange juice (fresh or from a carton is fine)
- 50 g caster sugar
- 50 g milk chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180℃ /fan 160℃ / 350℉. Liberally butter a 2lb loaf tin and line just the bottom with baking paper.
- Put all the cake ingredients into a bowl and beat together for a few minutes (I use an electric whisk). Pour into the tin.
- Bake for 45 mins, until golden and firm to touch. About 5 minutes before the cake is finished, put the orange juice and caster sugar in a small pan and heat very gently, stirring frequently until the sugar has dissolved.
- When the cake is cooked, remove it from the oven and evenly pour the orange mix over it. Let it cool in the tin, then remove and put on a cake tray or plate with raised edges.
- Melt the chocolate and drizzle over the cake. Leave to set and then slice and serve with a cuppa!
