Orange and Chocolate Ring Cake is a delicious dessert made with organic oranges and dark chocolate, two perfectly paired ingredients, for a delightful soft and fragrant ring cake.

It’s a very simple dessert to prepare, with seed oil to make it soft and organic oranges blended into the dough for that citrusy taste that pairs well with the intense flavor of dark chocolate, a combination I love very much.

Beautiful and tasty for presentation, it will conquer all palates at the first taste, perfect for breakfast, snack, after meal, or as a gift idea, and it will warm us up on sad and gloomy days.

For a more intense flavor, use untreated blood oranges.

1 packet Baking powder

Preparation for the Orange and Chocolate Ring Cake

Wash the oranges well, cut one into 4 pieces with the peel (leave the other for decoration), remove the seeds, put them in a blender, food processor, mixer or Bimby, and blend with the sugar until creamy.
Continue by adding the eggs, oil, milk, flour, baking powder, and finally the chopped chocolate; mix and stir the ingredients well. (Leave some chocolate aside for final decoration)
Take a bundt cake pan with a diameter of 9.5 – 10.5 inches, butter and flour it well, then pour the mixture.
Preheat the oven to a temperature of 320°F then insert the orange and chocolate ring cake.
Bake the cake in a convection oven, increasing the temperature to 356°F for about 25/30 minutes or 35/40 minutes in a static oven; the baking time also depends on the power of your oven.
Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes, then turn it over onto a serving plate, sprinkle the grated dark chocolate on the still warm cake, decorate with the other orange cut into slices and a few mint leaves.
Finish the orange cake with a nice dusting of powdered sugar. Slice and serve!
