Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Mixer
- Rubber spatula
- Saucepan
- Loaf Pan
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 orange zested
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour plus 2 teaspoons
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Orange Drizzle:
- 2 oranges juiced
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- Fresh whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar and orange zest. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar to release the oils and flavor. Add the butter and cream until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Then add the flour, baking soda, and salt and fold until just combined. Do not over mix. Toss the chocolate chips in 1 tablespoon of flour and add to the batter and fold gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and give it a few taps on the counter. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick, inserted in the middle, comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes.
- In the meantime, to make the orange drizzle, in a saucepan, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, and sugar. Set over moderate heat and cook until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Once the cake in done, remove from the oven and poke holes with a long skewer. Pour half of the syrup over the cake and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Slice and serve with the remaining drizzle and fresh whipped cream. Enjoy!
