This is a great variation of the wheat and egg free basic chocolate cake. Orange gives a zesty, tangy, delightful flavor….very enjoyable at tea time, after school or even as a dessert or snack addition to school lunch.
Ingredients
2 cups Grandma’s Gluten Free Flour Mix
3/4 can condensed milk (a little over 10 ounces)
1 stick (4 ounces) butter
2-3 Tablespoons grated orange zest (gently grate orange zest without including the white portion beneath)
3/4 cup fizzy orange drink (Fanta, for example)
2 level teaspoons baking powder
1 level teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
A few drops of yellow food color.
Method
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F (approx 180 C)
In a medium bowl, sift all dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder and baking soda)
In a large bowl pour condensed milk.
Add melted butter and whisk together.
Add orange zest and vanilla extract, and mix well.
Pour in the fizzy orange drink slowly, mixing with a spoon as you pour.
Fold in dry ingredients, a few tablespoons at a time, ensuring that there are no lumps. If batter feels too thick,add a couple of tablespoons more or orange drink.
Mix well using a hand mixer for a couple of minutes.
