I’d bought 3kg of small Navel oranges a couple weeks back and thought I would have gone through them quicker than I had so they needed using up. I just made my old favourte “No Fuss Fudge Cake” recipe with chocolate orange flavours. I was going to do choc orange icing but used up the last of my cocoa in the cake so thought it was a bit of fun to top with Darrell Lea “Choc Orange Balls” (similar to “Jaffas” but bigger).
