Ingredients

• 2 cup sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 31/2 cup cake flour
• 1tsp coco powder
• 1 cup milk
• 6 egg yolk
• 2 tsp orange extract
• 4 tbsp orange juice
• 1/2 cup grated candied orange peel
  For Chocolate Topping
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp orange extract ( optional)

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven 180 degrees C.
2. Sift all the dry ingredients - cake flour, coco powder. Mix well. Set aside.
3. In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar well.Add one egg at a time and beat well after each addition.Add the milk and orange extract and combine well again.Add orange juice and candied peel and give it a stir. Add the sifted dry ingredients gradually little by little and combine well.
4. Pour the prepared cake mix into the greased cake tin and bake at 180 degree C for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean.
5. Cool the cake for 20 minutes before removing it out of the pan. Cool completely before pouring frosting on top of the cake.
6. Chocolate Topping
7. I use double boiler to melt the chocolate. Pour a few inches of water into a large saucepan and place a small pan on it so that base sits in the water. Put the dark chocolate in the smaller pan and bring the water to a low boil.Once the chocolate starts to melt, add in butter, milk and sugar and keep stirring until everything combines well.The mixture will start to froth up and thicken at one point, that's when you switch off the flame.Then add the orange extract . Mix well. Let it cool for 15-20 minutes.
8. Once both cake and the chocolate topping cool down. Now place the cake on a serving plate. Spread the chocolate topping well on the top of the cake. Now garnish with orange wedges and cadbury gems.
9. Delicious Orange Chocolate Cake for Christmas is ready. Relish and have fun.

Delicious comfy hot soup in a lazy winter night has no substitutes. This hot and sour onion soup is not like the regular Chinese soup. I mix and match few flavors which  is the specialty of this hot and sour onion soup.. Instead of  vinegar I use lemon juice to make it sour and to make it hot I use pepper and chilly garlic sauce. If you want to keep the heat low you can skip the chilly garlic sauce but I suggest that use it once may be you can lower the quantity according to your taste.With all this the main  twist of the recipe is the roasted spice used.  I am sure if you are bored having the same hot and sour soup then it can be a change. Give it a try and let me know.
