Saw this recipe in Women’s Weekly cookbook and baked this Chocolate Orange Fudge Cake for SY’s birthday two weeks ago. The recipe was quite straight forward and as I was making the cake, I could tell this cake would be full of chocolately and orange fragrance. The chocolate ganache cream wasn’t smooth as you could spot the orange zest bits on it…not very pretty indeed 🙁 Too bad that I didn’t get the chance to taste this cake as I had to take a few pictures hurriedly before delivering the cake and had to rush home after that. I was delighted with the feedback …. it was quite good, fudgy and yummy. Definitely baking another one for my family to try.
