Day 241: chocolate orange

If you had asked me a few years what my most-disliked flavour combo was (not that anyone would have really been interested in knowing that), chocolate-orange would have been pretty close to the top of the list. Recently, however, I’ve been eating more of it - for research purposes, of course - and I like what I'm finding! Day 241 is this nubbly-crumbed, fragrant beauty from the Chocolate Cake Hall of Fame - Nigella’s Chocolate Orange Cake - and I’m head over heels in love with it!

Nigella’s Chocolate Orange Cake

I probably should have ironed my tablecloth, but I couldn't really be bothered to be honest (and cake was calling)! The cake is darker/browner in reality than it appears in my photo - my phone camera has this tendency to Orangina everything against my will, you see. Also, I may have over-blurred the background, too: I was trying to post-photo iron the tablecloth!
