chocolate-orange marble cake

This is yet another one of Donna Hay's delicious recipes. The apple-cinnamon cakes I made were so delicious that I figured, why not try another one?

Her recipes are super easy, quick, pantry ingredients, so it makes trying them, not so challenging.

This didn't marble as well as I would have liked for it to have. The recipe says to do a layer of the vanilla batter and then put the chocolate batter on top and swirl with a knife. Next time, I would do a layer of one and then a layer of the other, swirl and then repeat with the remaining batter. Also, next time, I would not add the orange colored food coloring. I think it would have been much prettier without it. The chocolate layer baked much quicker than the vanilla layer. So, when checking this one, really get the toothpick into that bottom layer.

Again, my best critic, Eli, loved it!
