Chocolate orange cake

Chocolate and Orange Cake

Ingredients:

135 gms. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
60 gms. cocoa
135 gms. brown sugar (I used demerara)
150 gms. butter
3 eggs
1 1/2 tbsp. orange marmalade
Juice of 1 orange, freshly squeezed
100 gms. good quality dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup cream

Method:

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy.Add the eggs and beat again until smooth and frothy.Add the marmalade and beat again, very briefly, just to combine.Sieve in the flour, baking powder, and cocoa. Fold in light movements.Add the orange juice to adjust the consistency. The batter should be thick but easy to pour.Pour into a greased and lined baking tin of choice. (I used an 8-inch round, loose-bottomed tin) and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees centigrade for about 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.Invert the cake onto a serving dish and leave to cool.Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a microwave or on a double boiler. Add the cream and mix to obtain a smooth and glossy ganache.
