CHOCOLATE CHIP ORANGE CAKE
I found this posted a few places and it seemed intriguing enough to try (and I had the ingredients for it). I was very happy with the way it turned out. It's a loaf cake, not too sweet, and the hint of orange seems to intensify the chocolate. It's somewhere between a cake and a bread, and quite good, especially with a cup of coffee. As an added bonus, it's not a lot of work to make, all easily done by hand without beating or a mixer. (I did leave out the nuts because I can't have them, but I'm sure it would be just as good with them added).

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the crisps will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Temper the chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set properly and give the crisps a smooth, shiny finish.
- Use a variety of toppings. You can use any combination of nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or spices to flavor the crisps.
- Be patient. It takes time for the chocolate to set properly. Don't rush the process or the crisps will be soft and crumbly.
