Looking at this cake you might think this is a chocolate cake. No,this is not a fully chocolate cake. Can you see there is some marble effect on the dark cake? Just because I've overbaked the cake for slightly more than 5 minutes, the cake got almost burnt and this is the result. Luckily the cake is still soft and tastes good with the sweet aroma and citrus flavour. I'm also not very disappointed because the chocolate swirl inside the cake looks very pretty. I definitely will bake this cake again with the correct timing next time.
200g Butter
180g Caster sugar
3 large Eggs
1 tbsp Orange rind
4 tbsp Orange juice (fresh)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
(B) ~ sift together
250g Plain flour
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1/8 tsp Salt
(C)
200g Sour cream or plain natural yoghurt
30g Semi-sweet chocolate, chop to pieces and melt in microwave or double boiler
- Preheat oven at 175C, Grease a 9" bundt pan, and dust flour or spray non-stick spray in pan.
- (Ingredient A) Beat butter for a while and add in sugar, continue to beat butter until creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Add orange rind, orange juice and vanilla extract, beat at low speed till well combined.
- Split ingredient (B) into 4 portions and sour cream into 3 portions. Pour in one portion of flour and sour cream alternately, beat well after each addition.
- Take half of the mixture and gently mix with melted chocolate (do not over mix).
- Scoop plain and chocolate batter alternately into pan, till all the batters are used up and gently shake the pan a little.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or skewer comes out clean.
- Remove cake from oven and set to cool for 20 minutes then unmould, leave to cool completely.
Enjoy!

Nice cake ! The marbling effect is beautiful. I shall try this out. I have the mold like yours too :) Haha now I know what cake to make :) Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThe swirl is so so so lovely. Can you show us how you create the swirl?
ReplyDeleteWith 200g of sour cream/yogurt added, I am sure this cake must be very light and moist. I would like to give this recipe a try but too bad the only bundt pan I have is 10", so I either bake a bigger cake (but I am not sure the conversion) or a shorter bundt cake. :P
Good Job. Look nice and delicious. I'm gona try on your recipe thanks
ReplyDelete漂亮^^～
ReplyDeleteAnn做的每一件都是艺术品
this cake looks familiar to me....
ReplyDeleteya, this is one of the recipes from the book that i won from huei shan (烘出蛋糕香).

ReplyDeleteBeautifully cake, well executed..
ReplyDeleteThanks Elin. Have a try and remember to check the timing.
ReplyDeleteAngel, this is very easy. After adding the plain and choc batter alternately just shake the pan a little to get the swirl. Can use 10" pan but the cake will be slightly smaller.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann so I wait for you to call. 我不客气了 very thick-skinned liao. haha

Perfect swirl! Good job as always.
ReplyDeleteChocolate orange great combi! The cake don't look burnt to me and the swirl inside indeed is pretty! ;)
ReplyDeleteHope I'm able to bake such pretty cakes like yours in future! ;D
Ah haaa... I almost got deceived by its look, I thought it was an ordinary chocolate orange cake, but it seems it's quite complicated and beautiful inside out!;D
ReplyDeleteHi Ann, the cake really looks fantastic. I have a tub of sour cream in my fridge. Will bake one in the next few days. Thanks for sharing recipe. By the way, do you use fresh orange juice or use packet juice?
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your lovely comments.
ReplyDelete@Inspired by eRecipeCards
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave :) Hope you enjoy this cake after trying it.
Gosh, the swirls are so pretty. I very rarely get them so nicely patterned in my bundt cakes. Good job!

ReplyDeleteLyn, I'm sure you too can be a good baker. 加油！！
@Siew-Hwee
ReplyDeleteSiew-Hwee, I used fresh orange juice since I'm using the orange rind. You can also add the sour cream up to 250g.
This looks great! I've never baked a cake with swirls but always wanted to because of posts like these. So pleasing to the eye and the mouth, yum! Also, I'm a huge fan of any orange cakes so this is perfect. Thanks =)
ReplyDeleteI hope I finally fixed it, I couldn't find you feed in my reader. I don't know why, but stuff just seems like it disappears. I have a feeling this cake would magically disappear from my counter if I left it there. Hope you are having a great week.
ReplyDelete-Gina-

The swirls inside the orange chocolate cake looks incredible, Ann! I really want to try making this with matcha and see if it works. Thanks for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteHi Ann, just to let you know that I have baked this orange chocolate cake today. The nice aroma filled my house when it was baked. The sweetness of the cake is just right and it's easy to bake too. However, the swirl which I got is not as nice as yours. Thanks again for your kind sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe swirl is indeed pretty! And also I usually like this type of cake almost almost burnt.. Im crazy!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the marble cake that my mother used to make but I'm sure this is more delicious. :)
ReplyDelete@Siew-hwee
ReplyDeleteWOW Siew-hwee, you're fast! So happy to hear that :D Want to send me a picture? The cake tastes better in a day or two. Enjoy!
Why were you disappointed, this looks really nice! Love the swir..
ReplyDeleteAs long as it tastes good, I don't really mind if it's overcooked! Really nice cake and the marbling effect is gorgeous! Have a lovely Sunday my friend! Big hugs for you!
ReplyDeleteCheers
That's done with perfection. Looks great!

Beautiful cake Ann, I would love a slice with my morning coffee, or afternoon tea..awesome recipe!
ReplyDeleteSure Sandra :) Wish you're here to share this cake with you.
ReplyDeleteWhat happens to ingredients A? You just mentioned beating it up but no further mention what to do with it? As you only mention scopping plain and chocolate batter in the pan
