New Tries on Orange and Chiocolate cakes

Last weekend converted an idea to a recipe. Tried out the orange cake adding kei chee soaked with brandy. Wanted to add longan as well but ran out of stock so raisins was added.

At first taste, there wasn't much to say but later on, after savoury it myself slowly, kinda like the change. Sofe with a liitle bit on the seeds. Should get the good sweet variety and maybe use chinese wine?MIL like it too!!!

The next variation tried was to add the belgium button chocolate into my favourite chocolate cake recipe Converted to cupcakes, one button per cup. Chocolate was gooey but I think i will add one and a half the next round and break it up. It will stay gooey better.

Orange Cake
150 g butter
100 g sugar (I normally use 80 only)
Rind of 1 orange
1 1/2 tbsp orange juice (lemon substitute is just as nice)
3 eggs
125 g sr flour
1/8 tsp baking powder
1 tsp milk powder

#for every 100 g sr flour, I use 1 tsp baking powder and enough plain flour to make up 100 g.Cheaper!
