This should have been Nigella's marble cake but I didn't read the recipe properly and added all the cocoa powder at the beginning thereby making chocolate orange cake instead. It still tastes nice but Lex was disappointed Mummy hadn't made his request. Oops...
For 2 loaf cakes you need:
250g butter, softened
250g caster sugar
250g plain flour
1/2 tsp bicarb
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
4 eggs
zest and juice of one orange
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp milk
Cream the butter and sugar and then add the eggs, flour, raising agents and cocoa. Mix in the orange zest, juice and milk. Scrape into 2 lined loaf tins and bake for 30 mins or so in a moderate oven.
