Pandarancio (italian "orange bread")

Quick and easy Italian loaf-style cake. Zesty, moist, so so addictive even if you slice it and pop it in the toaster to serve warm with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream! It can easily be turned dairy free (use any milk you like), and if you prefer a more Mediterranean feel, you can use extra virgin olive oil. I've made this with moscato wine instead of limoncello once and it tasted amazing!

Step 1

Cut whole orange into pieces (peel included!) and remove all seeds. Place in a food processor with oil and milk (and turmeric, if you're adding it)

Step 2

In a bowl mix eggs and sugar and beat with a mixer until almost white and foamy, add the limoncello and mix some more.

Step 3

Combine the orange and egg mixtures and slowly mix in the flour with the baking powder (pour it in three times to avoid overmixing)

Step 4

Fold in the chocolate chips and pour in a regular loaf pan lined with parchment paper. You can decorate your cake with a slice of orange on top :)

Step 5

Bake in a preheated static oven at 180°C for around 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean
