Orange Citrus Chocolate Cake

The origin of Cakes dates back to the ancient times. The most fundamental ingredients of cake are flour, nuts, eggs, milk, and sugar. The earliest word for cake was "plakous" which came for the Greeks. In ancient times, there were different names for the cakes in different eras, like "satura," "placenta," "Libum." Nowadays, There are thousands of cake verities available in market.

The most popular is chocolate cake. Chocolate is perfect with fruits like strawberry, pineapple, banana; but in this recipe, I combined chocolate with orange is really yummy. I used orange zest, which has natural oil and citrus. I have to confess, I am a chocoholic so I used extra-milk chocolate for the cake.
