How to make Chocolate Orange Loaf Cake
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 160 degrees C (fan) or 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F (gas mark).
Step 2: Generously grease a 2lb loaf tin, then, line.
Step 3: In a bowl, add the butter and caster sugar. Mix with an electric mixer or a spoon until light and fluffy.
Step 4: Whisk in the orange extract, eggs, and milk until smooth.
Step 5: Add in the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Mix until completely incorporated.
Step 6: Then, fold in the chopped Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
Step 7: In the prepared loaf tin, pour the mixture. Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about an hour or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8: Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
To make the buttercream:
Step 9: Combine the butter, cocoa powder, and icing sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture begins to combine.
Step 10: Then, stir in the orange extract and milk until smooth.
Step 11: Fill the piping bag with the buttercream. Pipe the loaf cake or use a spoon or spatula to spread the buttercream.

Step 13: Serve or store in a cool place in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
