Directions

Cooking mode
  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease a bundt tin.
  2. In two medium bowls, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt for each cake flavour. Stir in the cocoa powder for the chocolate cake.
  3. Set aside 1 tbsp orange zest for decorating. For the orange cake, whisk together the sugar, oil, remaining orange zest, orange juice and water in a small bowl. For the chocolate cake, whisk together the sugar, oil, vinegar, water, milk and vanilla in a small bowl.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture for each cake flavour. Mix until smooth and just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into the bundt tin, alternating each flavour, then gently run a knife through to swirl them together. Bake for 40–45 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  6. Leave to rest for 10 minutes before turning out to cool completely.
  7. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top and sprinkle with remaining orange zest. Leave to set before slicing.
