Mini Orange Cakes

• 1 tbsp finely grated orange zest
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup + 1 tsp butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup self-raising flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 None eggs, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 cup powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 325u0b0F. Grease an 8-hole mini loaf tray. Line bases and long sides with parchment paper, extending paper at long sides for handles.
2. Make orange sugar by stirring together half the orange zest and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Scatter over a baking tray and set aside for 1 hour to dry.
3. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, flour, baking powder, eggs, milk, remaining sugar and remaining zest in a large bowl, on low speed, until just combined. Increase speed to medium. Beat for 2-3 minutes or until light and creamy. Stir in chocolate.
4. Spoon mixture evenly into prepared loaf pans and smooth tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted at center comes out clean. Remove from oven. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. To make orange icing, sift powdered sugar into a small bowl. Add the orange juice and 1 tsp butter and stir until smooth.
6. Drizzle icing over cooled loaves. Serve sprinkled with orange sugar.
