Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180℃ /fan 160℃ / 350℉. Liberally butter a 2lb loaf tin and line just the bottom with baking paper.

Step 2

Put all the cake ingredients into a bowl and beat together for a few minutes (I use an electric whisk). Pour into the tin.

Step 3

Bake for 45 mins, until golden and firm to touch. About 5 minutes before the cake is finished, put the orange juice and caster sugar in a small pan and heat very gently, stirring frequently until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 4

When the cake is cooked, remove it from the oven and evenly pour the orange mix over it. Let it cool in the tin, then remove and put on a cake tray or plate with raised edges.

Step 5

Melt the chocolate and drizzle over the cake. Leave to set and then slice and serve with a cuppa!
