ORANGE BREAKFAST CAKE with chocolate chips, easy and quick dessert, very simple recipe to make in a short time, super soft and delicious.
Few ingredients, the ones I had in the pantry, a fragrant orange, and a handful of chocolate chips. The result was an orange breakfast cake with chocolate chips so soft it melts in your mouth, with that citrus aroma that fills the kitchen and makes you want seconds.
This is the classic homemade soft breakfast cake, perfect to accompany milk, coffee, or tea. Fresh oranges make the dough moist and fragrant, while the chocolate chips add that delicious touch that makes it irresistible even for a snack.
The secret to a super soft orange and chocolate cake? Don’t underbeat the eggs: they need to become pale and foamy to incorporate air. Use untreated oranges and a little trick: coat the chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour before adding them, so they don’t sink to the bottom.
This easy and quick breakfast cake is also perfect to prepare the night before: it’s even better the next day. It stays soft for 2-3 days if well sealed, but I’ll warn you… it finishes sooner.
