This is the perfect cake to enjoy with a cup of coffee! It’s not too sweet, yet the fresh orange zest and juice give it a fabulous orange flavour and the soy yoghurt makes it wonderfully moist. The marble effect is created by mixing the chocolate and orange & poppy seed batters, so that every bite is a surprise!
