Olivia’s Chocolate Orange Snack Cake

Olivia made this chocolate orange snack cake in Heart of a Hunter. Chocolate oranges in Christmas stockings are a family favorite. I’ve tried to replicate the taste and this recipe comes the closest. Use good-quality cocoa and dark chocolate to increase the richness. Bonus, the taste will be so satisfying, one piece will be enough. Maybe.
