Method
-
step 1
Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease and line the base of a 2 lb loaf tin (roughly 21cm x 11cm and 7cm deep) with baking parchment. Beat the butter, sugar, eggs and flour together in a large bowl with an electric whisk or in a food processor until lump free.
-
step 2
Split the mixture into two bowls, beat the milk, followed by the cocoa powder into one. Beat the orange juice, zest and orange food colouring, if using, into the other.
-
step 3
Spoon alternate dollops of the mixture into the cake tin, then use a skewer to create a marble pattern by dragging it through the mixture in swirls. Make sure you don’t overmix or you won’t see the pattern. Smooth the surface if necessary.
-
step 4
Bake the cake for 45 - 55 mins until golden and risen, and a skewer poked in comes out clean.
-
step 5
Leave the cake in the tin to cool, then turn out. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over barely simmering water or gently in the microwave. Use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate over the cake.
