Method
- In a bowl, rub the orange zest and sugar together. Add the butter and beat until pale and fluffy then add the oil. Add your eggs individually, mixing well between each addition
- Add half of the milk and mix before adding half of the flour. Repeat this process again, mixing until the flour is just combined.
- Divide batter into two even bowls. To make the orange batter, add the ingredients and fold through the batter. To make the chocolate batter; make a paste in a small bowl by combining the ingredients together. Remove some cake batter and mix into the paste before incorporating into the main batter.
- Fill your prepared tin, adding alternative batters. Once all of the batter is added, use a skewer to swirl through to create a marble effect. Bake at 170 for 45-50mins or until skewer comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow to stand for 5mins then turn out and allowing to cool fully.
- Make the cream cheese frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together before adding the icing sugar. Add the orange zest and orange food coloring and combine. Add the cream and whisk until soft peaks.
- Use a pallet knife to cover the cake with the cream cheese frosting and then create some grooves to give the pumpkin effect. Place some flakes in the middle for the stem, slice and enjoy!
