Orange Chocolate Crumble

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

   Tip: Adjust oven rack for even baking.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add softened butter and mix until crumbly.

   Tip: Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, orange juice, and orange zest.

   Tip: Don't overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Don't overmix.

   Tip: Stop mixing as soon as the ingredients come together in a shaggy mass.

5. 5

   Transfer the batter to a 20x20cm (8x8 inch) baking dish.

   Tip: Make sure to grease the dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the chocolate mixture evenly over the batter.

   Tip: Use your fingers or a spatula to spread the chocolate mixture to the edges of the dish.

7. 7

   Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Don't overbake; the crumble should still be slightly soft in the center.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool in the dish for 5 minutes.

   Tip: Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

9. 9

   Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

   Tip: Enjoy your delicious Orange Chocolate Crumble!
