Eggless Chocolate Orange Cake
A super soft and rich chocolate sponge is layered with a tangy orange and garnished with dark chocolate and some more yummy citrusy treats like orange Zest. I use fresh orange zest and orange juice in the batter for the flavour. This adds natural sweetness and also enhances the orange aroma and chocolate chips made for a great mouth-feel and a true tasting pleasure. This orange chocolate cake is super moist, decadent and easy to make! The orange flavour pops just enough without being overwhelming and gives this chocolate cake a really fresh and yummy flavour! It’s heavenly and chocolate and orange go so well together.
