This Chocolate Orange Marble Cake is what happens when two of my favourite flavours refuse to pick a side. Chocolate and orange just make sense together — one rich and deep, the other bright and citrusy — and instead of choosing one for this loaf, I let both share the same tin. Half the batter turns citrusy and bright with orange zest, the other half goes rich and dark with melted chocolate and cocoa. Spoon them into the pan in turns, run a knife through in loops, and the oven takes care of the rest, giving you those swirls every single time without much effort on your part.

Some recipes feel like they belong to everyone. Mary Berry’s lemon drizzle cake is one of them. You have probably seen it on The Great British Bake Off, in her books, or on the internet countless times. And there is a very good reason for that — it is ridiculously good.

When I decided to try her recipe, I was curious. Would it be as simple as she makes it look? Would the flavour live up to the reputation? And most importantly, could I make it work in my Indian kitchen with a few tweaks?

The answer to all three is yes. And then some.
