1 h 5 min

Good Food, Food Company is our series of easy, delicious recipes from some of our favourite cooks. Food to cook, eat and share in good company. Nicola Moores, Garden-to-Table cook and manager of the beautiful Te Arai Lodge shares her recipe for a Dark Chocolate and Orange Cake. Nothing says “celebration” quite like cake, and what better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than with this dark chocolate orange cake smothered in a silky smooth ganache laced with Cointreau?! This delectable moist cake may look and taste rather decadent, yet it’s gluten-, dairy- and refined sugar-free! Coming into winter I love to serve it with fresh citrus but it’s equally as delicious served with macerated fresh berries in the summer season.
