A little while ago I noticed an orange cake recipe reel, on a certain social media platform, using cooked oranges. It looked really interesting so I decided to give it a try. My husband Howard and son Ted loved it. (I haven’t written that recipe yet so please don’t look for it.) For this recipe I decided to bake a chocolate orange cake. It was delicious and of course I had to share the recipe and video with you. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Chocolate Orange Blender Cake was a delicious cake my little family and I enjoyed as much as the fist cake I made recently. This was an easy cake to prepare and cook. All the ingredients in this cake are freezable so you could freeze the cake and defrost it when you want to eat it. It makes a tasty treat but it could also make a lovely dessert. The cake could be served with a scoop of ice cream. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you. xxx
