Instructions
- Cream together the sugar and butter in a large bowl
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing between additions
- Munch up a whole orange in blender (skin and all!) and add to the creamed mixture.
- Add the chopped dates (which can be done by popping them in the blender at the same time as the orange), vanilla and salt to the mixture
- Stir in the flour and baking soda ( dissolved in the water)
- Pour the batter into a lined and greased tin and smooth out evenly
- Using an entire kingsize block of chocolate, poke pieces of choc (2 squares together is good size) into the batter. Jam in as much in as possible
- Smooth the batter over the top of the chocolate
- Bake at 160 degrees for 45mins or until cooked (definitely better on the slightly undercooked side!)
- Serve warm with whipped cream or icecream and for extra decadence, chocolate sauce
- For sauce, in a pot gently melt cream and 1/2 block of chocolate.

Hi there, is this recipe with plain or self raising flour?
Hi,
Just normal flour in this recipe – the baking soda acts as the raising agent. If you try this recipe let us know how it goes!
