I’m excited to share my chocolate orange cake recipe, a dream come true for chocolate lovers seeking a citrusy twist.
You’ll find layers of moist orange cake topped with a luscious chocolate frosting – perfect for anyone craving a sophisticated yet simple dessert.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and set aside. Whisk together the oat milk and lemon juice. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, coconut sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, flour, and orange zest.
Add the orange juice, oil, and eggs to the oat milk mixture and whisk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well.
In a separate bowl, mix the boiling water and instant coffee. Stir the coffee mixture into the cake batter.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake until a skewer comes out clean – about 45 to 50 minutes. If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil.
