Pie
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. New Year's and Christmas holidays are always associated with the scent of orange and mandarin. Therefore I want to suggest you make this wonderful cake for the holidays – an orange and chocolate loaf. The dough is made with baking powder, so it prepares very quickly. The orange is used in the recipe with its peel – this also saves time (no need to peel the citrus). I also want to say separately about the orange: don’t be afraid to use the peel, it won’t harm the baking – the peel will turn into candied bits in the cake. Choose any chocolate you like – dark, white, or milk. And sugar – not everyone has cane sugar, so feel free to substitute it with regular sugar. If you have leftover cake the next day – it will be even tastier.

Wash the orange well and cut it into small cubes together with the peel. Use the whole orange, without any leftover, just remove the seeds if there are any in the orange. Place it into the dough.

Step 6
Grate the chocolate bar with a knife and add it to the dough. Mix well so that the orange and chocolate are evenly distributed in the dough.

Step 7
Take any baking pan – round, square – I have a loaf pan. Line the pan with parchment paper and place the dough. Tap the pan firmly on the table so the dough spreads in the pan and settles. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

And bake until done. I baked for about 45 minutes, and when the pie turned golden, I lowered the temperature to 150 degrees and baked for another 20 minutes.
