- 185 grams (6 oz) butter, softened)
- 1 1/2 cups (330g) caster (superfine) sugar
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 3/4 cups (260g) self-raising flour
- 1/4 cup (35g) plain (all-purpose) flour
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon milk, extra
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange rind
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon icing (confectioners') sugar
1.Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease a 21cm {8½-inch} kugelhopf cake pan; sprinkle with a little cocoa, tap out excess cocoa.
2.Beat butter and caster sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in combined sifted flours and milk, in two batches, until just combined.
3.Divide mixture between two medium bowls. Stir sifted cocoa and extra milk into one bowl of mixture. Stir rind and juice into second bowl.
4.Spread one-third of the chocolate mixture into pan; level the mixture with the back of a spoon. Top with one-third of the orange mixture. Repeat layering two more times. Gently tap the cake pan on a work surface to remove any air pockets.
5.Bake cake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave cake in pan for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool. Just before serving, dust with sifted icing sugar.
