How to make Chocolate Orange Loaf Cake

Step 3: In a bowl, add the butter and caster sugar. Mix with an electric mixer or a spoon until light and fluffy.

Step 5: Add in the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Mix until completely incorporated.

Step 9: Combine the butter, cocoa powder, and icing sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture begins to combine.
