Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 150°C. Grease a 20cm-round cake tin and line base and sides with baking paper.
2 In a small saucepan combine spread and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat until spread is melted.
3 In a large bowl sift flour and cocoa. Add sugar, ricotta, orange zest and spread mixture. Mix well then pour mixture into prepared pan. Pile on orange slices, completely covering the top.
4 Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to stand in pan for 5 minutes. Turn out, top-side up, onto a wire rack to cool. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings and serve with yoghurt.
Variations
For a glossy finish, brush a little honey over the top.
Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free flour and check cocoa, chocolate and yoghurt are gluten free.

This is delicious. So easy to make and can really taste the orange flavour. (It’s really good served with yoghurt)
