Doug Sherring

Perfect with hot cup of coffee for an afternoon treat and just as nice heated with a scoop of icecream.

1 serving	Butter, for greasing tin
1 ¾ cups	Flour
2 cups	Caster sugar
¾ cup	Cocoa powder
2 tsp	Baking soda
1 tsp	Baking powder
1 tsp	Salt
1 cup	Milk
½ cup	Vegetable oil
2	Eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp	Vanilla extract
1 cup	Coffee, freshly brewed, hot (Main)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Butter a bread tin and line with baking paper.
2. Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or into a large bowl and mix until combined.
3. In another bowl mix the milk, oil, eggs and vanilla. Mix the dry ingredients while slowly adding the wet ingredients to the dry. With mixer still on low, add the coffee and the orange and stir to just combine, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
