Chocolate, blood orange and hazelnut cake
- Published: 28 Nov 23
- Updated: 18 Mar 24
This terrific chocolate cake is wholly inspired by Nigella’s magically moist chocolate orange cake, which in her words lasts for a “spookily long time”. This is the cake recipe every travelling cook needs at Christmas: the dense crumb makes it the perfect sturdy bake to survive a long journey (no matter how many potholes you encounter).

If you become enamoured with this cake and plan to make it again and again (we think you will), it’s a good idea to simmer 4 or 6 oranges (step 1), blend, then freeze in portions. This makes the cake even quicker to make.
