Thanks Damsel. I found the orange essence, it was actually very easy to
find, right there with the vanilla essence, even in our little local
supermarket. Obviously I just never looked before. My daughter thinks we
should make her favourite chocolate cake with the orange essence in it. So
we'll try it this weekend. Orange and chocolate do go so well together, I'm
surprised I never thought to look for it before.

I like the recipe, MoM, but where do you find oranges this period?
I don't see one orange in the markets around here

Have fun! I didn't start adding orange to chocolate until fairly
recently, but it was worth the wait.

Oranges are available year round in the US. You can also find orange
zest and extract in the spice section of the market, if you desire those.

I just realised the recipe says add milk or cream, but it's not in the
ingredient list, how much is needed? Thanks. Also, how does the marbling
work? At first I thought it must have been swirled into it, but obviously
that's not the case.
