Boozy Chocolate Orange Cake

This one's for adults only! A delicious, rich, moist cake.

125g (5 oz) Self-raising flour

125g (5 oz) butter, softened

125g (5 oz) caster sugar
50g pure cocoa powder

2 eggs

3 tbsp milk

1 large orange (finely grated zest & juice, separate)

3 tbsp icing sugar
3 tbsp whisky (or brandy, or Cointreau...)

1.  Put the flour, butter, sugar, cocoa, eggs, milk and orange zest into a mixing bowl and blend with a wooden spoon until smooth (or mix in food processor using the plastic blade).

2.  Pour into an oiled 2 lb loaf tin lined with greaseproof paper and place in cold oven at 180°C (350°F) for 35-45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove from oven and leave in tin to cool.

3.  Mix the orange juice and whisky with the icing sugar. 

4.  When the cake is cold, prick all over with a fork and pour the juice over it so it soaks into the cake.
