Sweet & Simple Bakes Monthly Round-Up ~ Chocolate Orange Drizzle Loaf Cake

It happens to be our fourteenth baking challenge here at Sweet Simple Bakes. It has been yet again another great success with so many gorgeous entries. Every Chocolate Orange Drizzle Loaf Cake looks divine and I hope it becomes a popular bake in your household as much as it is mine.

We would like to thank all our S&SB bakers for your continued support each month and a very warm welcome to new bakers who have joined us this month.

*Unfortunately, I have some breaking news for you here at S&SB*.

Due to overwhelming commitments this summer, Maria has had to take a break from S&SB for a little while. I plan to manage S&SB each month and keep S&SB running as normal until Maria is hopefully able to join us here once again. I do hope you will carry on supporting S&SB because you are what makes this blog a great place to visit and enjoy a spot of home baking each month.

*If there are any late entries, I will endeavour to add you to the round-up as soon as possible*.

Chocolate Orange Drizzle Loaf Cake

The recipe can be found here.

I am delighted to present this month a recipe for Chocolate Orange Drizzle Loaf Cake. Chocolate and orange combinations are a charming classical flavour. My family simply adore this bake and it remains to be one of the most popular loaf cakes in my household. The sponge has orange zest running through and then soaked throughout after baking by orange syrup, which makes a moist crumb and finally a chocolate topping to finish off. Sprinkles are purely optional for that extra little touch should wish to add them.
