In the second
part of this series I will be sharing with you the recipe of Chocolate
Orange Cake. I picked this up from a TV show but unfortunately I don’t
remember the name of the chef. The flavours in this cake are amazing and
chocolate and orange are a match made in heaven. There are three stages
involved in preparing this cake which may seem cumbersome but the end result is
really impressive.
Ingredients
Orange – 1
Eggs – 4
Sugar – 1 ½
cups
Flour – 2
cups
Milk – 1 cup
Cocoa powder
– 1 tbsp
Drinking
chocolate – 6 tbsp
Baking powder
– 1 tbsp
Walnuts – ½ cup
(optional)
Sugar - ½ cup
Water – ½ cup
Lemon juice -
2 – 3 tsp
Butter – 100 gms
Condensed
milk – ½ tin
Drinking
chocolate – 4 tbsp
Cocoa powder
-2 tbsp
1. Blitz the
orange in the food processor. If you like you can keep a few pcs of the skin of
the orange in the processor also along with the pulp for that great orangy flavour.
2. Mix all the
liquid ingredients together followed by the dry ingredients.
3. To this
mixture add the orange and the walnuts. Dust the walnuts with flour before
adding to the mixture.
4. Grease a 9
inch baking tin and bake for 30 – 40mins or till the skewer come out clean.
Take the cake out and let it cool.
For the sugar
syrup
1. Boil the
sugar and water together till it comes to a string like consistency. Add lemon
juice to this.
2. Take a large
toothpick and prick the cake all over. Pour the sugar syrup over the cake. The
syrup will be absorbed by the cake within a few seconds making the cake very
moist.
For the
chocolate glaze
Heat butter
along with condensed milk. Add cocoa powder and drinking chocolate powder to
this and stir continuously. In the beginning it may seem the butter is too much
but once you stir for some time it starts coming together. Take it off heat and
keep on stirring. Pour over the cake and let it cool in a fridge. You can
decorate with orange pieces.www.google.co.in
