"It's easy" I said to myself.
"All you have to do is bake something each month."
"All you have to do is bake something each month."
It's actually harder than it sounds! I eagerly go to the Sweet & Simple Bakes page at the beginning of each month to see what I have to attempt and think to myself "Brilliant. I can do that. I'll do that next week."
Or next week....
Or the week after that....
And before you know it you're at the last day for posting and begging your boyfriend to drive you round to the Tesco Metro down the road so that you can oranges and chocolate - two kind of important ingredients for this month's bake. I really wanted to complete this month's bake after the disaster of last month's attempt at lemon curd muffins on the day now called Black Saturday.
Luckily I have a nice boyfriend who obliged and I got my baking mojo on last night in the kitchen.
Et voila! Chocolate Orange Drizzle Cake!
I was surprised how easy this bake was. I'm a little bit scared of loafs having only made one accidentally once before.
However, true to form, it was indeed very simple to make and very sweet to eat!
(Plus I got to go mad with the sprinkles which is always fun)
I was everyone's favourite person in the office today as I brought a slice in for everyone, with one of my colleagues remarking that it was the best thing she'd eaten all week. I'm a bit worried about her diet to be honest...
For the recipe, stick your cursor over.......HERE!
Looking forward to the next bake!

I can imagine you must have been the most popular girl around as everyone was eyeing up a slice of your gorgeous cake at work ;0)
Many thanks for taking part in this month’s bake and I hope you will join us again next month at S&SB monthly bake.

Seeing this kinda makes me wish I'd made a big cake like yours rather than my two smaller ones as your cake came out beautifully!
Looks really good and yes, I had much the same experience from the people I work with too, isn't it great? *grin*
The cake looks lovely. We certainly didn't have a problem finishing it, but sharing it was difficult! :D
Love this cake!!Looks perfect!!
It was indeed a very simple bake... you can't go wrong with this one... your loaf cake looks great.
Yours turned out very nice :) I love seeing how each person's cake turned out.
Going mad with sprinkles is always fun. But not when they start rolling off the counter and on the floor.
Great pic - loved the recipe.
Hi!Thanks for commenting on my blog . Your cake looks amazing.
It looks scrum! I should take more time out to bake...
Your chocolate icing looks thicker than mine and therefore yummier. I loved making such an easy and rewarding cake. I am glad you did too.
