Chocolate Orange Cake

I baked this simple chocolate orange cake last weekend to celebrate my son's birthday, this cake goes for really very simple process and i enjoyed making them, i love orange flavours in chocolate cake and this time i prepared out this cake with chocolate, orange juice along with orange peels..needless to say how they tasted..we loved much, its a delicious, quite a spongy cake with orange flavour..A fabulous treat to chocolate lovers and i love baking and enjoying this cake with hot coffee for my sunday evening snacks, this cake stays prefect for more than three days in room temperature..Sending to Shabitha's Virtual Party-Chocolaty Dreams..

This cake looks great. I am surprised combining milk with orange juice does not make it curdle. I guess the chocolate and other things being pre-mixed must prevent that. Thanks for the recipe. I really want to try such an orangy dessert now. Best wishes to your son!

This looks very beautiful, Priya. Orange and dark chocolate are such classic combinations. How did you make the little hearts?
