So here we are with the last of my three ideas for the holidays menu and I won’t hide it: as much as I love the two savory dishes I previously posted (creamy baked pasta and veggie casserole), I couldn’t wait to get to the dessert. 
As it happens pretty much with every meal, that is. Sometime I would have dessert even after breakfast. Yes I’m that bad.
And the fact I love cakes and chocolate and citrus fruits and this one has them all in each bite, might have a lot to do with my  enthusiasm for this recipe too.
But let’s get to chocolaty business, my dear:

• pre-heat the oven 180 C° / 355°F
• mix the flaxseeds and water and let it rest for a few minutes
• mix the flour, starch, sugar, cream of tartar and baking soda
• now divide the mix into two halves
• to one part add the cocoa, half the seed/coconut oil, the dairyfree milk and half the flax-egg
• to the other part of dry ingredients add the other half of seed/coconut oil and flax-egg, and the orange juice
• whisk thouroughly the two batters keeping them separate
• grease the bundt cake pan with some seed/coconut oil
• now in the pan alternate a couple of tbsp of chocolate batter to a couple tbsp of orange batter, one next to the other, till you finish both batters.
• with the back of the spoon make light swirling movements through the two batters, not over mixing them, but creating white/brown lines, so you get a marble-effect (see picture below)
• now into the oven for 30 minutes more or less
• in the mean time melt the chocolate bars in a small pot, adding a few tbsp of veg milk, until you get the creaminess you want. I opted for a thicker chocolate spread
• once the cake is baked, let it cool down a bit and then decorate with the melted chocolate
• add some candied orange on top (cubes in my case) 

And … keep strong. Do not eat the whole cake right away.  I repeat: do not eat the whole cake right away.
Which is why last time I baked it, I brought half of it to my friends (and they loved it, woot woot!).

In the next few days I’ll be sharing an easy, cheap and tasty idea for a gluten and dairy-free gift too, so if you want to stay in touch (oh please do) don’t forget to subscribe to my  Instagram, Twitter and Facebook 😉
