Mary Berry's Very Best Chocolate & Orange Cake!!

100g unsalted butter, softened, plus a little extra for greasting

50g cocoa powder

90ml boiling water (if you’re not using a kettle and you’re boiling it on the stove make sure you boil more water then needed as you’ll lose some to evaporation!)

3 large eggs

4 tbsp of milk

175g self-rising flour, sifted

1 rounded tsp baking powder, sifted in with the flour

300g golden caster sugar (superfine sugar)

finely grated zest of 1 orange (un-waxed, scrub well if using wax) I left the orange out all together as my husband is allergic to citrus. So, I didn’t really make a chocolate and orange cake, I made a chocolate cake!)

Pre-heat at 180C/160F/Gas 4
