Coffee & Caramel or Chocolate & Orange Cakes - help me ..... please!

[davidtennantsmistress]

Blinking DP likes to jazz up cakes a little - i'm sure he's trying to find one I can't do.

anyhow he's after Coffee & caramel this week - but I have NO clue as to how to do it so any recipes would be good on this one.

Also for the choc/orange one I did a basic choc recipe - ie 6oz flour, 6 oz sugar, 6 oz marg 3 eggs rind 2 oranges 2 oz coco and about 100ml of fresh unconcentrated orange, but it came out quite flat & dry/heavy - any thoughts on where I went wrong with it?

Thanks.

I would have substituted the cocoa for flour ie if using 2oz cocoa then only 4oz flour iyswim.

Nigella's Chocolate Orange Storecupboard Cake save all the faffing about with oranges by using marmalade.

ooh thanks bettys, DP loves nigella as well.
